Re: Blake question for Ari

Actually he did record in E, standard tuning. One of his last recordings, if not his very last, is Depression Gone From Me Blues, which is in E standard. There are also one or two from his early recordings including, I believe, Ashley Street Blues in which Blake is on guitar and Leola B. Wilson is the vocalist.
Not much, but some!
