Blake question for Ari

Ari,
I was thinking about this recently, and it occurred to me that I have never heard a recording by Blind Blake in which he played in E, standard tuning (at least I couldn't remember any). I have heard most, but not all of his records, and am certain that you have heard them all. Did he do any tunes in E standard? If not, what a curious omission, sort of akin to Lemon never recording a tune in D, as was discussed with Frank's listing of Lemon tunes by key. Any thoughts on this?
All Best,
John
