I recently received a copy of the front cover of the very first B.M.G. magazine. The cover shows a 3 octave five stringed banjo which has the every appearance of being made by Alfred Weaver, but we…Continue

Arranging music for the banjo

All I can say is that I'm glad that I'm a poor country boy who never knew that playing the banjo might involve 'a non eurocentric point of view', 'antiphony', 'call and response' etc. and I must…Continue

"Sheaff was a wonderful banjo player, composer, and arranger of music for the banjo. This particular melody has been a favourite of mine for a long time, well played Tony. Sheaff's collaboration with Cammeyer on such pieces as 'Danse…"
"I think that there may have been a few more, perhaps 90 or so. My copies are up in the loft and my wife won't let me climb the ladder. I'll wait until she's gone shopping and see if I can get to them."
"A fascinating discovery relating to the, in many ways. 'mysterious' Joe Morley, thanks for sharing this morsel of 'Morleybilia' with us."
"Given the data we have, there is no reason not to believe that the halftone image is of a Weaver made Special (only hoop-at the time).Weaver wrote that he made these special sized banjos (10.5") with a three octave neck. This size, with…"
"Hi Richard, my Weaver has 22 frets, I bought it from Clive Hughes around 20 years ago who I believe obtained it from you. It has the square bracket nuts indicating that it may be an early model. It's looking its age but still plays and sounds…"
"The banjo illustrated has all of the characteristics of a Weaver banjo (Weaver didn't;t recommend a hoop of less than 11" but did make them when requested, he made few banjos with 22 frets but I've seen one or two over the years).…"
"What makes you think Weaver might have made it, Richard?"
"And interestingly, the first appearance of the Special (wood hoop) is in issue Vol 3, no 25. That is not to say that this was when they were introduced, but I could find no mention in the issues before this one. I learned that the…"
B.M.G. Vol1. No1.
I recently received a copy of the front cover of the very first B.M.G. magazine. The cover shows a 3 octave five stringed banjo which has the every appearance of being made by Alfred Weaver, but we cannot be certain of this. The hoop is said to be 10.5 inches in diameter and the price is £10/10/0 (ten pounds ten shillings, or 10 Guineas) converted to modern UK decimal coinage this is ten pounds and 50 pence, and this, if converted to take into account inflation since 1903 is approximately…See More
"Coconut dancing must have been very popular at one time."
"Andrew Herman is the one that Van Eps recorded.

"Well, now we have four "Cocoanut Dance" pieces. The Van Eps/Vess Ossman/Ruby Brooks, the Cammeyer, the Herman arranged by Gregory and one by F. Guilder...a "Danse African." Will the real "Cocoanut Dance" please stand up?"
"Sorry, I can't help with the disk thing, but I did just dig out and scan this:https://archive.org/details/cocoanut-dance-alfred-d-cammeyer"
"Hi Richard, I have never seen one but Mr Google found this:"
"I found Ehrlich listed as a German maker of music machines, similar to a player piano...but for banjo. It doesn't look like that disc would play for very long."

Hello Richard, good to be back. No, I won’t be doing Clowne this time round; my husband is a writer and has a book launch that day, and I should be there doing the wifely support thing. Also, I wasn’t aware of the rally, having been out of touch for so long. Are the various banjo rallies notified on this website? Hope to see you at one or two of them.

It's a shame about Backwell – I have fond memories of those days. My son, Chas, plays all types of fretted instrument and, as a result of my return to the fold, is also interested in pursuing classic banjo again. The new event in Nottingham could be interesting for both of us; my brother lives there so we could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
