Recently, I attended a seminar, reviewing american music
history. One of the songs was a ragtime piece - so it
sounded to me - the speaker called it, as best I could
tell, "Hillsboro Blues".
I searched for it, to download a recording, or piano
sheet music, but came up empty. Most likely, I
mis-heard the title. Anybody have any clue to what
it might properly be?

They didn't have Led Zeppelin clones 100 years ago.

I found it by accident, serendipity - "Winnsboro Blues".
It was the modern verson, by Rzweski, but I'm 99%
sure it's the same song, which was more tradiitonal,
with piano and singer. Both cases evoke the sound of
pounding machinery.
