Musical Sam from Alabam (No, not Musical Marc from Alabam)

 I never cease to be amazed at the records that turn up featuring the playing of Fred Van Eps.  He and the banjo certainly were a phenomenon in the early 20^th Century.

 

Here is the Fred Van Eps Quartet, with Arthur Collins on vocals, in a recording from 1917. Apart from the odd interruption Fred only features from around the two-minute mark, and only then if you listen hard. :-)

 

Enjoy :-)
