The only mention of "Flares and Flashes" I've seen is the title of one of her stage shows (which appear to have been of the variety type). No doubt it is in the JAT catalog. We…"

"Yes, it's been interesting finding out about her career - I imagine 'Romping Rossie' might have been one of her stage pieces. I wonder if anyone has come across her 'Flares and Flashes March'!"

Ragging the Scale - Van Eps Banjo Orchestra
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZYaoR-h6F8
A different version of Ragging the Scale than the one in the Original Recordings library marked as Van Eps Banjo Orchestra. I wonder who the other musicians were - sounds like plectrum or tenor banjo.

Your playing sounds very tasteful on my old Stewart Banjeurine,
I recently sold it to Kevin @ Findajo !

Hi Carrie,
I have really enjoyed playing stroke style from the Briggs' book on my tackhead but I'm finding the classic style much more satisfying, even at this very early stage. I'm taking it very slowly, working from 'Ellis's Thorough School' and as I'm retired, I have plenty of time to practice. I really do appreciate your offer of help.
If you, or any fellow players live near me and might fancy meeting up occasionally, please message me. I live near Eastbourne, East Sussex. I also travel to Oxfordshire every couple of weeks for a camping weekend so I could make a brief detour.
Best wishes, Ian.

Hi Carrie.
I started a msg to you, but my finger hit a button somewhere...away it went. You mentioned you liked City Point Jig. If you would like a copy I can send it or post it on this site somewhere. It's in "A" notation. Clarke
