Thank goodness Honky Tonk Train Blues by Meade Lux Lewis will finally be public domain. But you'll have to wait another year for Pinetop's Boogie Woogie by Clarence Smith (who died before the 1929 stock market crash).

(you'll have to go archive.org to get the 1927 recording - youtube only has later ones - https://archive.org/details/78_honky-tonk-train-blues_meade-lux-lewis-lewis_gbia0385215a/%22HONKY+TONK+TRAIN+BLUES%22+-+MEADE+%22LUX%22+LEWIS.flac https://archive.org/details/78_honky-tonk-train-blues_meade-... )
