Blues and the shuffle: Chicago, Texas, half-time and the slow twelve

The shuffle — long-short on every beat — as Chicago and Texas shuffles, the half-time shuffles of Purdie, Rosanna and Fool in the Rain, and a slow twelve-eight blues, with Rosanna at 160 as a bonus last day. A song to play along with every day (four tracks).
