Good question Chuck. Bob's 1937 Dallas recordings were as follows (according to Dr. Townsend's book "San Antonio Rose") :
June 7 White Heat, I'll Get Mine, Dedicated To You, Playboy Stomp, Steel Guitar Stomp, Rosetta, Bleeding Heart Blues, Down Hearted Blues
June 8 Blue Yodel #1, Tulsa Stomp, There Are Two Sides To Every Story, Thirty First Street Blues, Oh! You Beautiful Doll, Mexicala Rose, Tie Me To Your Apron Strings Again, Keep Knocking But You Can't Come In, Never No More Hard Time Blues, Sunbonnet Sue, La Golondrina, At The Barn Dance, Dallas Blues
June 9 There Is A Tavern In The Town, The New St. Louis Blues, Loveless Love, I'm A Ding Dong Daddy (From Dumas), I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate, Oozlin' Daddy Blues
Many of these selections were unissued, but most are available. They were originally on Vocalion and Okeh records. I don't recall reading anything about Bob meeting with Robert Johnson, but they may have met. Hope this helps. Robert
