Khám phá sheet piano của Euday L. Bowman trên Zen Virtual Piano. After his parents divorced while he was young, Bowman's mother took the family to Fort Worth; she and his sister both taught piano. His sister Mary, a school and piano teacher, taught him piano; he went on to play at local night spots and to work as a junk dealer. In his teens and early twenties he traveled around as a pianist and was also an arranger for popular orchestras. A household of piano teachers, followed by night spots and a junk business, makes for an unusual mix of daytime and nighttime work. Among the several original pieces he wrote between 1914 and 1917 were Fort Worth Blues, Tipperary Blues and Kansas City Blues, yet it was the unusual pairing of a repeating three-note melody with a duple-metered bass that made Twelfth Street Rag his most popular hit. His sister, Miss Mary M. Bowman, wrote a part of Twelfth Street Rag, and he did not put the music on paper in manuscript form until more than 15 years after composing the song. A tune carried in his head for more than 15 years before it reached paper hints at how much of the piece may have lived in performance first. The tune was popular, yet he earned little from it: Jenkins Music Company bought the copyright and royalties from him in 1916 for a few hundred dollars at most. Because of its musical features, the various recordings of the piece chronicle the progression of jazz over the decades. Other artists recorded more than 120 versions, while Bowman himself recorded the rag in 1924 and 1938 but did not see his version issued until his own 1948 release. A sale for at most a few hundred dollars, set beside more than 120 recordings, sketches a hit whose rewards went mostly to others. He married Geneva Morris in 1920; she left after a couple of months, and they divorced in 1926. In May 1949 he took his one and only trip to New York City to press for royalties the rag had earned, caught pneumonia after three days and died on May 26, 1949. A Texas Historical Marker was erected in his honor in 1988. A single trip to New York for royalties, ending the way it did, adds a final chapter to the story of a famous tune and its small payment.
