Another rare Frederick Fletcher Van Eps recording turns up!

I have been looking for information on, my hero, "Fred" Van Eps and never cease to be amazed by the number of recordings that he made, and that I still find ones that I have not heard before!

Here is another for us to enjoy... I do wish that I could play just a little bit like him!!!

Hi Hal,  what would be cool (to me anyway) would be a FVE companion to the "Banjo Solos" book.  FVE recordings of all the pieces in order as they are in the book.

Count me in for a $15 CD of it!

Not a bad idea, Joel. I will have a look to see if I have all the recordings.

Hi Hal

 

Ian may have better info, but you can find a FVE bio and pretty long discography, (1901-1926) at link below. It takes you to the Performers page. Click on FVE in list:

There is also an Ossman bio/discography.

The book The Banjo On Record has eleven pages of FVE recordings. Whether it is complete I don't know.

Ian, do you have a full list of his recorded songs somewhere? I am getting ready to add more pieces to the radio site and a list of his songs would be helpful. I might even put together several CDs of his music for the Classic Banjo Shop.
