<p>I suggest Paul Draper- see my post in your other thread:</p>

<p>What's more, Paul may be able to get there and do this in time if he's interested. He's a very good player and can pick up a tune fast.</p>

<p>Have you contacted Tony Trischka? He is a NYC based professional banjoist who would fill your bill quite nicely. <a href="http://www.tonytrischka.com/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.tonytrischka.com/index.htm</a> He played on the seminal recording "Minstrel Style Banjo" (see the last few tracks)…</p>

<p>I suspect the short notice may be the biggest issue for someone of his caliber. He might have an alternative banjoist in mind though.</p> Hello Trapdoor:

<p>Hello Trapdoor:</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's great to hear from you. I'm glad you're enjoying our recordings.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This time we're recording the original 1879 arrangement of James Bland's "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers!," using a recreation of his minstrel show band, which included clarinet, cornet (in "A"), tambourine, pianoforte, banjo, violin, and bass. I'll attach the p/v score below, if anybody wants to see it. </p>
<p></p>

<p>Well, I still am looking for a player in/around New York. I <em>have</em> roped in a real celebrity to produce/engineer - this year's Grammy Award winning "Producer of the Year - Classical" - Judith Sherman. </p>
<p></p>
<p>All the best, </p>

<p>Now that would be a treat! I have a couple of the PRO's recordings, all 'top notch'!</p>
