Very cool, Greg. If Weston was that fast and that clear, no wonder he was S.S.S's favorite!

Nicely done Greg. You nailed it.

You'll likely find some Weston tunes printed in the early SS Stewart Journals, pre-1891. PDFS of many issues can be found at the University of Rochester website. Google "SS Stewart Banjo and Guitar Journal"
