"For that BMG combination, when all else fails, you could always try bluegrass!"

"Steven, you have hit on a bit of an anomaly of the classic era: in spite of BMG - banjo, mandolin and guitar - being a common combination of letters, the presence of musical trios of banjos, mandolins and guitars seems to be a rarity.  From my…"

"And here, for comparison purposes, is what Bernard Sheaff came up with. "

"Ah, that would explain it.  Thanks."

"Some lovely research work there, you guys, well done!  Thanks for the music - I'll take it away and see if any of it is playable.  At a first glance, I would say that the sainted Bernie Sheaff was the more sensible of the two in going…"

"Thanks, but I hadn't intended this to be a reverse engineering exercise, just to see if I could find an arrangement from the heyday of banjo innovation.  I still think it's odd that no-one thought this was worth the effort of a banjo…"

"In a main file called 'Bocherrini' there is a sub-file called 'Menuet'.  That's where I found Menuet(second).TIF. It's odd as I would have expected to find it under 'Unknown', which is where a lot of…"

"Boccherini's Menuet Joel. Firstly, I would like to express my deep admiration and gratitude for all the work you have put into the Internet Archive. It is an immense achievement for one person and I hope you continue adding to it, to the…"

"Brett, Here's my copy of The Yacht Club as arranged by Harry Fisk. I have played this on and off for many years - it's not all that difficult (see below) - but I could never get much musical satisfaction out of it.  For a banjo solo I…"

"Here's a little seasonal offering from the mighty pen of Johann Sebastian. I had played this on banjo for a while but it was not until I tried it on my banjola that I managed to get the 'fluid' feel I was after.  "

"Ohmygosh!  Stupendous stuff, Chris!  My jaw drops at the technicality of it all: those impossible stretches, every note clear as a bell, remembering that a 12" Weaver has wider than usual fret distances, plus an arrangement that…"

"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…"

"Hi Tony, That was lovely playing and a great tune! Sheaff knew his stuff. All you need now is to get hold of a Fiery Argentinian... maybe you could get me one too? Loved it and thank you. Ian"

"Bernard Sheaff is much better known as being an arranger of popular music - plus the classics and Strauss - than a composer.  However, his few original compositions explore the banjo's capabilities better than those of many of the more…"

"What a great composition!  Well played!  At last - a banjo rag that actually sounds like a piano rag. "
