"Taking Your Place" was recorded on October 3, 1929 in Memphis, TN by the Memphis Jug Band. It is a straight blues in the key of C with few surprises. The opening phrases have a distinct treble lick. Memphis Minnie used the same motif in her recording of "Good Girl Blues", recorded on June 5, 1930 as well as Arthur Pettis in 1930 for his "Good Man Blues". As to who first created this guitar part is anyone's guess but it is rare to hear a blues arrangement copied by one artist no less two.
