(Van Epps of course was the father of a whole family of jazz musicians of whom George Van Epps the 7-string guitarist is probably the best known - he is rather fine too if you haven't heard him) If you haven’t heard Ossman or Van Epps you are in for a treat!

Reser plays the 4-string Tenor banjo, not the 5-string banjo as most country players (Charlie Poole, Dave Macon etc.) played. He is much more in the ragtime tradition, though there too, the 5-string was popular : Fred Van Epps, Vess L. Ossman. Tha Banjo in all its forms is of course one of god's own instruments and is wonderful in every way. I don’t understand the comment about country.

In short, there's no there there. But I sure liked Crackerjack! I'm with you, banjo doesn't usually do it for me, but that's a fun, energetic piece. Thanks again for something unusual that opens up my musical horizons. Heebe Jeebes gives me a message that the site may have been moved. In short, there’s no there there.
