"The simple expedient of looking it up in Heier and Lotz solves the mystery.
I'm clearly a bit foggy headed to have not done that first."
"Get better soon Russ!!
Yep, Early 1950's release as on our "Original Recordings" page, search under Van Eps... you can find five parts of an interview with Van Eps and all the other music tracks too."
"In 1951 or 1952 (I can't remember) Van Eps put out a DIY set of recordings with his son. This looks to be from the box set of records but issued in London."
Unusual Van Eps disc...
Currently being laid low with Covid I have just about enough brain to get round to cataloguing some of my 78's and I've come across something curious.It seems to be an unlabelled Fred Van Eps of Dell Oro b\w Ragtime Oriole and was Issued by TH…See More

"I had the same reaction reading that book. Or in his style :" Had the same reaction....". It bothered me too. It's ok in a diary. But in an autobiography, meant for others to read, by midway through reading the subject of…"
Ballad No. 1 by Alfred Cammeyer
"Thank you so much! I like the Cammeyer note, by the way. I read the book, but his tic of avoiding the pronoun "I" wore me down after a while. Still, it's an interesting read."
"I only know of a couple arrangements of The Merry Peasant."
"Thanks Marc, this tune has become a bit of an 'ear worm' that keeps telling me to play it! Does anyone have any original banjo arrangements? They'd make a nice addition to the library...Steve."
