Ella Hudson Day
Ella Hudson Day (born Luella Lucile Hudson, 1876 – November 4, 1951) was a ragtime musician from Texas best known for "Fried Chicken Rag".[1] She also wrote a few works about Texas due to an "overflow of patriotism". She also stated, "I do not write music because I want to – I write it because I must get it out of my system and that seems the only practical way to do it".[2]
