Mississippi Breakdowns, Herbert Ellis

[Joel Hooks]

Here is one that is popular with some current players.  I believe most play the Essex arrangement. 

I have not compared to see how similar these are.

Now I have three arrangements! Essex, Turner and Ellis. The Turner is No. 772 and arranged by somebody called "Olly Oakley". My Essex is either a different composition or perhaps missing a 2nd page.

I have two pages for Essex but I do not have a second banjo part.  the ones I have are part of the Spiers TIFFs.

At first glance, the main difference between Ellis, Oakley and Essex is that Essex ignored the dynamics that make it a patrol.
