After watching/listening to @Worldfiddler play his "12-bar-shuffle", I wasn't sure why I like it SO much - then, I realized how much it reminded me of Boogie Woogie!   

I recently sat in on a few Blues-based Jazz workshops, as well as a 'Strum-bowing' workshop at Fiddle Hell.  Even though all this is fresh in my mind, I didn't quite make the connection until I ck'd with the 'Wiki God' tonight:

For the most part, boogie-woogie tunes are twelve-bar blues, although the style has been applied to popular songs such as "Swanee River" and hymns such as "Just a Closer Walk with Thee".

This must mean the chord progressions are important. 

The chord progressions are typically based on I–IV–V–I (with many formal variations of it, such as I/i–IV/iv–v/I, as well as chords that lead into these ones).

I've always associated "Boogie Woogie" with dancing, which I don't with "The Blues" - maybe another reason why I didn't make the connection between the 2 earlier.

This is a set of violin pipes I built using a scale from a Seeburg F. Most Seeburg F's have 32 notes starting at middle C and running through G. My test chest has 37 notes C to C so I've inserted a few Wurlitzer violin pipes at the top. You'll notice that the Wurlitzer pipes are a very narrow scale compared to the Seeburgs.
