Just wondering if anyone has a copy of the Yacht Club March by Harry J. Fiske (1903). I believe it may be the piece Olly Oakley recorded.  It's 725 in Turner's Banjo Budget.  Many thanks,

All I have is the piano with banjo guide. It is marked that it is an arrangement by Fisk. See attached.

OK, I found this website with the original sheet music...composed by Richard H. Barker. There's a neat video of the Navy Band playing this piece.

Ossman recorded "Yacht Club March" for Edison Bell in London, May,1900 (cyl 7056), presumably the same piece as above.

Oakley recorded "Yacht Club March"  for Gramophone, March 12, 1903 and for Edison Bell Dec. 10, 1903.  It is the same piece as above. Will post  the Oakley recording later.

The Fiske arrangement (UK), likely does not credit composer Barker (USA) to avoid copyright fees.

I'll have a look through the mouldering pile later today.
