<p>Heck, I don't know. FVE cut lots of these and they're all just a little bit different. I'm quite sure professionals like FVE and Ossman threw these together on the fly during recording sessions...and they show up with a bunch of different names and sometimes different melodies stuffed in there.</p>

<p>A thousand thanks Marc! I just attempted to plunk through it...and it made me smile. I'm not as familiar with the FVE version as the Ossman version...so it sounds a little different than what I am used to, but still...I am amazed after all these years that I'm finally seeing what they were doing...it is definately different than what I had come up with on my own. Thanks for making my day good buddy! Which recording of Fred's should I listen to to hear this proper?</p>

<p>Most of Glynn's stuff was published by Lincoln Gatcomb. I have: Glynn's Grand March, Queen of the Forest, Blushing Rose, Glorianna Waltz, Old Homestead Polka, West Lawn Polka and Under The Roses. Maybe a few more I haven't yet cataloged.</p>
<p>And yes, those look like Morrison banjos. Go here: <a href="http://www.billsbanjos.com/Morrison2.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.billsbanjos.com/Morrison2.htm</a> </p>
