"That is very interesting Richard. I am curious, where did you find the information regarding Zillah Price being the wife of Parke Hunter? I wonder why she is still billed as Miss?"

Vess Ossman - Dixie

"Just saw this video. I am in agreement that Vess Ossman was perhaps the best of the old classic players, along with Fred Bacon, but of course much more prolific.  Good tone, great technique. Now the first films marrying sound with…"

Hi Doug,
I enjoy your excellent playing on your CDs very much. Keep up the great work. Back in the sixties I had to make a career decision between being a banjo player or a lute player, and chose the lute. Happily, the lute has taken me from the Kennedy White House to Carnegie Hall and all over the world, but now that I'm retired I have the time to pursue my first love again, the classic banjo. I just recently discovered this site and enjoy the discussions and I hope I can make myself useful on it. I'm also intrigued about the ABM.
