but it's a little different, since for a lot of the pre-war blues players, rhythm was more fluid than we tend to think of it.
Check out this one from Furry Lewis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0eyTfr5B98
it's basically a standard blues, but if you listen carefully to the first verse -there's an extra beat thrown in at the end of the 2d and 4th bars -the inter-verse break appears to be only 6 beats
and some verses are played straight, others have differing random extra beats.
Furry did this a lot but he certailly wasn't the only one.
