In Chicago, Dorsey, known during these years by several stage names--Barrelhouse Tom, Texas Tommy, and, most commonly, Georgia Tom--started out playing theaters, clubs, and rent parties (parties held to raise rent money). By 1930, however, Georgia Tom Dorsey had become a success as a bluesman--composing, performing, and recording the blues with many talented musicians, including Ma Rainey and Tampa Red.
