"Yes - its frustrating that we can no longer trade between EU and UK without high costs. It used to be so much easier (and less expensive!)"
"I have never seen the sheet music unfortunately. There is a nice description of Olly Oakley's typical live performances on page 8 in this article on the zither banjo website and mentions him playing…"
"Very cool! The Pink Lambert cylinder...very rare (1900 to 1906, and pink wasn't the only color). They go for lots of money to collectors.
Anyone have the sheet for this? The old ABF spread-sheet shows "piano" but no banjo. Maybe piano…"

"Good job I checked - I get into enough of a finger-tangle without complicating matters :)"
"LOL. Before I started playing the Cello and then Viola in a string orchestra, I would have also assumed it was some sort of funky "banjoistic" marking. However, after having been chewed out by a conductor for not playing them loudly…"
"Great, thanks Marc - that makes sense"
"Yes, it is "marcato", so it is meant to be played a little more strongly than the sideways "accent" mark >."
"Oh, I'm getting confused with up/down stroke symbol for tenor/plectrum - so do you think it means play both chords 'strongly'."
"Is the V a thumb strike from 4th string to 1st (a 'rasp' with back of thumb nail or just a stroke?) with the second chord played 1st to 4th. Confused.com"

"Good stuff Carrie. It really is a nice looking banjeaurine.
One thing though Carrie... By the look on her face I am not 100% certain that Nancy actually enjoyed it ;-)"

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.

- Hello Carrie, Just watched your video, playing "The Jubillee".
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
