MRS. HOGAN'S GOOSE. American, Jig. B Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composition credited to J. Hand in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883). Little is known about fiddlers James and Johnny Hand, to whom a number of tunes in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection are attributed, although they were probably brothers (perhaps father and son) on the variety stage circuit in New England.
