A Site Dedicated to all enthusiasts of Classic Style Banjo
Ladies and Gentlemen, for your delectation:
I proudly present a recording of Fred Van Eps playing "Banjo Medley" composed by Theodore F Morse.
This has only today been made available and I doubt that anyone will have heard it before.
It is now in the Jukebox, but here it is for you:

Well, one can certainly hear the TPA in that one. Mr. Morse is otherwise known as the composer of the famous, "M-O-T-H-E-R: a word that means the world to me" song ("M" is for the million things she gave me, "O" means only that she's growing old...).
It doesn't really sound much like a medley, does it?
Nice! The Colonel's seemingly boundless collection will never cease to amaze me...
I am pretty sure that it wasn't a Theodore Morse song, but I once went to a banjo festival where a lone Bluegrass player, of little skill and less talent, stood on the stage and started with a tune:
A is for the ......................................................................................................................,
and B is for......................................................................................................................,
and C is for......................................................................................................................,
with chorus between each letter.
By around H is for......... most of the audience were thinking of slashing their wrists, by: T is for.... many already had, and by Z is for........... We were all wishing that we had slashed his wrists ;-)
I am sure that M-O-T-H-E-R is quite long enough.
And you are right Marc, I thought that it was a darned funny medley too!
