Blue Goose Blues
 

So I had remembered seeing this picture in the Historic Photo Group, titled the "Blue Goose"

Would you believe I just now heard a song entitled the "Blue Goose" which refers to the Blue Goose in Shreveport.. recorded back in like 1927 :)
Don't know if it's the same Blue Goose..
How cool is that.

Here is one quote:

"Jesse's family moved to Shreveport, where he began to explore the small neighborhood known as Blue Goose, with its cafes, and a handful of barrelhouses offering lively Blues musicians such lap-steel slide guitarist The Black Ace (Babe Turner) and Oscar "Buddy" Woods (who would later record with Louisiana's famed singing governor, Jimmie Davis)."
