A previously unheard Van Eps Banjo Medley !!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, for your delectation:

I proudly present a recording of Fred Van Eps playing  "Banjo Medley" composed by Theodore F Morse.

This has only today been made available and I doubt that anyone will have heard it before.

It is now in the Jukebox, but here it is for you:

 

BANJO MEDLEY played by FRED VAN EPS

Well, one can certainly hear the TPA in that one. Mr. Morse is otherwise known as the composer of the famous, "M-O-T-H-E-R: a word that means the world to me" song ("M" is for the million things she gave me, "O" means only that she's growing old...).

It doesn't really sound much like a medley, does it?

Nice! The Colonel's seemingly boundless collection will never cease to amaze me...

I am pretty sure that it wasn't a Theodore Morse song, but I once went to a banjo festival where a lone Bluegrass player, of little skill and less talent, stood on the stage and started with a tune:

A is for the ......................................................................................................................,

and B is for......................................................................................................................,

and C is for......................................................................................................................,

with chorus between each letter.

By around H is for......... most of the audience were thinking of slashing their wrists,  by: T is for.... many already had, and by Z is for........... We were all wishing that we had slashed his wrists ;-)

I am sure that M-O-T-H-E-R  is quite long enough.

And you are right Marc, I thought that it was a darned funny medley too!
