Default Bandsaw blade help

I was resawing a fair amount of southern yellow pine on the bandsaw, it's
dry, it's been floor joists in a warehouse for the last 100 years.As I was
cutting I got a whiff of a burning smell & stopped to check. The blade has
a fair build up of pitch, on the teeth, in the gullets ,but mostly on the
back of the blade. The back of the blade is like you smeared a very fine
coat of glue and dusted it with fine sawdust. The tires are coated the same
too. So, what is the best way to clean this? Don't think I can do it with
the blade on, can I? Is it anything to be concerned about or is just normal
with this kind of wood?

Thx,
Chris
