Blue Goose, written under the pseudonym of Raymond Birch, is a fine, bubbling workmanlike rag. There are speculations that this rag was intended for a University of Delaware fraternity which called its sport teams "The Blue Hens". Amongst his "Classic Rags", Rudi Blesh considered Blue Goose together with Cum-Bac (1911) to be "near-classic". A tempo of 190 crotchets/min. is suggested.
Blue Goose was published by F.J.A. Forster Music Publisher, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
There is also a treble solo version of this item.
