You've probbably figured this out already but here are the
"I-IV-V"s:

A-D-E
B-E-F#
C-F-G
D-G-A
E-A-B
F-Bb-C
G-C-D
A#(Bb) - D#(Eb) - F
C#(Db) - F#(Gb) - G#(Ab)
D#(Eb) - G#(Ab) - A#(Bb)
F#(Gb) - B - C#(Db)
G#(Ab) - C#(Db) -D#(Eb)

Now you can play I-IV-V blues in any key you like. This comes in handy when a singer requires a flat or sharp key for their accompanyng music. This can also be accomplished with a capo - guitar, such a versatile instrument.
