I've read some history about the blues, but don't recall ever hearing the
term "blue devils" except in connection to college sports. So I did a
little googling and found this:

I think harp would do a pretty good job of playing the clarinet (?) part in
that song.
I also liked the blurb about the band... particular the line, "after a
series of misadventures in 1933, The Blue Devils found themselves stranded
in Virginia, without instruments or money." Gotta wonder what that "series
of misadventures in 1933" exactly was!
