Johnson
was truly prodigeous, cranking out music and songs in *every* genre, and
listening to inclusive samples of his music gives us an excellent feel
for the sensibilities of the time. Johnson is best remembered as the author
of "Dill Pickles Rag", and those who know it will discover similarities
to "Crazy Bone Rag" (although "Dill Pickles" was published in 1906). Among
his other popular rags are "Doc Brown's Cakewalk" and "Porcupine Rag".
Under the pseudonym Raymond Birch, he published several pieces, including
"Blue Goose Rag" and "All The Money".
