Well spotted! I should have thought to look to Stewart's journals for an ad or two.<br />
<br />
BTW, Mr. Latham, I suspect you are correct that "The Morrison Banjo March" is indeed an eponymous composition. I hope it turns out to be a fun one!<br />
<br />
More info on "Alice", it seems that a BBC comedy uses it as a theme. I did a quick 'google' search on the title and found a nice midi file along with a pdf of the music with lyrics. Very sentimental tune evidently written in the 1860's.…

A note on the Morrison March: Goldby & Shepard put an ad in S. S. Stewart's Banjo and Guitar Journal, Vol. VI no. 1 [whole number 51], April - May 1889, on page 16.<br />
The ad lists "Latest Publications for the Banjo" and contains seven titles, including the Morrison March.<br />
In the same journal, VI/3 no. 53 August - September 1889 on page 15, Stephen Shepard placed an ad for "Goldby & Shepard's Progressive Studies for the Banjo".

Can do. This one didn't come out as well...the large format doesn't fit the small scanner bed well. Still, the music is readable. You'll have this one worked up in a fortnight so we can hear it? ;-)<br />

Well, if you're taking requests ... :)<br />
<br />
If you wouldn't mind scanning Morrison Banjo March ... I doubt it's eponymous in the way I'm thinking of it, but I do play a Morrison banjo, so it seems fitting!

Here ya' go, that was too easy! The new HP 6500 printer we bought a few months ago is working out quite well, features a scanner, fax, copier, etc.<br />

I only know that Bickford was primarily a mandolinist, married to a prominent guitarist (Vadah Olcott-Bickford) and produced a mandolin-method/tutor that is still rated as one of the best. They recorded a few sides for Victor in 1915 (including "Alice, Where Art Thou?"). Bickford evidently did quite a bit of arranging as I have a number of banjo pieces marked "arr Z.M. Bickford". That's about it, other than the pair were part of some sort of numerology cult and changed their first names to Zarh…

I have no idea about the quality of these pieces, just that they're arraged/written for 5-string banjo. I think "Chief Big Jaw" is a single-sheet, I'll see if I can get it scanned for you.
