In going through some old music I have, I came across 3 pieces of Christmas music that were arranged for two banjos by Bernard Sheaff. I didn't think much of it until I arranged them in SmartScore and could actually hear them. The first banjo is pretty straight-forward but the 2nd banjo parts are quite unique. I present them to you in a holiday salute.

Thanks Hal for these very interesting arrangements from Cammeyer's one time duet partner, and a Merry Christmas to you.

Thanks for responding to these, Richard. They are a bit unusual but delightful nonetheless. Merry Christmas to you, as well.

I appreciate you posting them too, Hal.  I did print copies and sight read through them.  So your efforts are not wasted, there are a few of us out here looking at this stuff!

Thanks for the support, Joel. It is good to know that no man is an island.

Hey, Merry Christmas to you Hal. Sorry I have not been around on site for a while but I have other things on my mind at the moment.

Thanks for these, it is very kind of you. I have added audio players for the tunes.

No man is an island indeed, but sometimes I too feel a bit like Robinson Crusoe when posting. Rest assured though that Man (and Woman) Friday are around here somewhere and they have their banjos with them!

Don't forget us cannibals! We're appreciative of tasty bits 'o banjo as well! ;-)

No, it doesn't have anything to do with banjos or Christmas...but it popped into my head and I had to go see if I could find a copy on the web...
