"Jody,
You now feel my frustration and pain!
The current error "seems" to have been resolved.
We have had this error before and my son, David (a web programmer) diagnosed Ning's incorrect up-dating of the "Https security…"
"That message from Ning about "instant bugs" is remarkable for its vacuity and its power to annoy. How can one answer a question that has no apparent meaning and is presented in a foreign language masquerading as English?"
NING ERRORS, YET AGAIN!!!!

Whirlpool Dance
Whirlpool Dance, played on my Gold Tone AC 1 I changed the tailpiece and strung it with Clifford Essex nylon strings. The odd mistake, but getting there.
"Just for fun, here's the piano version. Oakley did a great job, fine playing. Thanks Ian!"
North Pole Rag...1909...John Lind
Continuing my theme of rags by lesser known composers, this is another good example. Lind is credited with a further 6 compositions, none of which I've managed to locate so far and neither have I found any information about him. The score and midi…See More
"It's always exciting when new recordings show up - I love the energy in Oakley's playing."
"Wow. Thanks, Ian. It almost sounds like he's speaking or singing through his banjo. He's very much at ease here. "
A "NEW" Olly Oakley recording! ... well, new to me!!!
What a great lively tune, and fantastic playing.I hope that you agree. :-)See More
"Could the rim be upside down? This is something I see a lot for some reason that I cannot figure out why."
"A picture or two of the entire instrument, front and back would be helpful."
Clifford Essex 5 String Banjo??
Clifford Essex 5 String Banjo”The perch bar is marked “Clifford Essex”. Is this consistent with the way that other banjos were marked. The number of clamping screws on mine is 22. The dimensions are 9 3/8” (23.5mm) diameter across the skin (mm) and…See More
Uncle Julius Participates..1900..Joseph Spinelli
This is yet another one off composition by an unknown composer. It's a straightforward, simple but melodic cakewalk which it isn't too challenging to play. The second part has a Latin American tempo which gives the tune a nice lift. The title made…See More
"Hi Marc, thanks for your comment, it's well written cake walk but despite my best efforts, I've still been unable to find any info about the composer or the other two published scores. I'll see if I can find some more banjo…"
"Cool tune, well done!
I think I've mentioned before that I'm a big fan of the "oriental foxtrot", a craze of the early 20s. All this one needs is a "snake charmer" quote and it would qualify..."
The Sultan's Cakewalk...1900...C. F. Pleininger
This is another very good early cakewalk by a composer about whom I could find no information. There are two other compositions attributed to him but I've been unable to locate a score for either of them. The score and midi are in the…See More
