Page 91 in How To Play Boogie Woogie Piano
"The Lick", as many piano players in the blues and roots genres call it, is actually a combination of Lick #1, Lick #5 and Lick #4 - in that order. If you can think about it that way, it will help you remember it in terms of hand position in stead of notes. You will also be more likely to come up with your own unique method to play it.
