"I thought the same thing... "Tony"? That is a weird name. But shrugged and said out loud to nobody "there are lots of weird names."
I like it even more that it was his son.
George Lansing composed a nice little piece…"

"I think Tony was Oakley's Sons name. Likewise he also named a piece after his wife “Winifred Mazurka”"
"The Woolco disc sounds like it is Olly Oakley playing as well. Does anyone have an idea what the title signifies? "Tony" seems an odd title. I've never heard of a banjo solo called "John". Why "Tony"?…"
"Pretty cool. Of course, the dots don't cover Oakley's ending, you'll have to figure that out for yourself...if you want to.
I've transcribed the dots (sans fingering) to put it on two pages for readability. Tab & mp3 too,…"
"Thank you very much for this!!! I shall add this to the pile to work on after the ABF rally this month. "
"The peace is “Tony” Written by Olly Oakley"
"Gosh, I wish I knew what this piece actually is, I like it."
"I see what you mean. Mostly the book gives recording dates and personnel. Comments suggesting the common identity of two different titles are incidental. I have enjoyed perusing the book. I don't know if a definitive account of banjo…"
"Don't know. Here is the problem, in this situation I have the notation and the recording. I can listen to the recording and read the notation and find that they are completely different, but the things I cannot compare I cannot…"

You mentioned "the book", do…"

friend me and send me a message. "

Jazzbo's Holiday - accompaniment part
Hello Everyone,I have the solo part (both finger and plectrum - only photocopies I'm afraid) for Jazzbo's Holiday and just got a copy of Chris Sands books of Tarrant Bailey Jnr's Banjo Solos (Mel Bay), expecting a piano and possibly (if we were really lucky) a 2nd band or guitar accompaniment part to come with everything. Sadly they aren't included. Some great solos, but no music for the accompaniments. It has tablature (which I'd rather be without - as for me it's totally unnecessary and…See More
