The Teddy bear Rag..1907..Hattie Bernice Gobden.

[Steve Harrison]

Despite the rather naff title and twee title page, this is a very well written rag with some interesting syncopation. The composer was born in Texas and she taught herself to play on the family piano. She never took music lessons and played entirely by ear. The music for this tune was arranged for her by a Mr. Phil Epstein....Steve.
