Some fun stuff here. Just a couple of notes:
50195-L Infanta March (Gregory) Banjo with Orchestra
Fred Van Eps 3307 BL; SCT (lot)
50195-R Dixie Medley, Banjo w Orch
Fred Van Eps 3308 BL (nr center only)
This was an incredibly popular record in its day, judging by the
number of copies that turn up.
About 15 years ago, I saw a performance here by Van Eps' son George,
himself a noted jazz guitarist.
Still performing in his 80s at that time.
-------------------
51112-L Chinese Picnic & Oriental Dance
Banjo solo, Fred Van Eps 8692 BBL;F
51112-R Cocoanut Dance (Andrew Hermann)
Banjo solo, Fred Van Eps 8691 LS
This record really is worth listening closely to. Van Eps' virtuosic
playing is readily apparent.
Not as common as 50195.
-------------------
51220-L Just a Girl that Men Forget (Al Dubin, Fred Roth &
Joe Garren), tenor Jim Doherty 9096 Deep gouges in tracks
51220-R The Gold-Digger (Dig a Little Deeper) (James F. Hanley)
tenor, Billy Jones 9095 Deep gouges
The L side warns against what the "flapper" can expect if she keeps up
her loose behavior (if I'm remembering this one correctly).
Jim Doherty had a heartfelt way of putting across a song.
The R side is self explanatory, and a good chance to hear half of "The
Happiness Boys".
