The song My Creole Belle goes way back to the turn of the century when ragtime and jazz were being born. It was later made popular in the 1960s by Mississippi John Hurt. In this cakewalk composed by J. Bodewalt Lampe in the year 1900 the song My Creole Belle is the second of the three sections. The first section is in the key of G and the other two in C. Lasse's arrangement comes from the piano sheet music but the tune also has a brass band feel to as it was often played by bands that marched in New Orleans.
