Dubuque Blues from YouTube user TheWCA2011.
DUBUQUE BLUES. The only musical tribute written for Dubuque by a nationally recognized musical group. In 1967 “The Association,” one of the 1960s most popular bands, performed in the Locust Street Parking Ramp at a teen dance.
Jules Alexander, a member of the band, wrote the tune that was released on an album in 1969. The song sold well locally, but never achieved nationwide popularity.
