BLUE EAGLE RAG. AKA - "Old Molly Hare." Old-Time, Breakdown. The tune was recorded by the North Georgia band The Skillet Lickers in 1934, played once through in the skit-medley "Prosperity and Politics - Part 1." The title honors the New Deal programs of Franklin D. Roosevelt; a blue eagle was the symbol of the New Deal.
