Carl - Greg tells me you're heading to Gettysburg in July. I work a mile north of town. Do you and your pards want to get together & do some street playing? I'd love to do some jamming with you!

I downloaded your tabs of these two songs from the hangout (I think) but I wasnt quite sure about some of the tablature. From listening and reading, it seems that the x's in the space between the 2nd and 3rd string lines are rests?!?!?! If they arent rests, what are they? And, ona side note, the bones player you mostly play with is really good. I enjoy listening to his playing.

Well, it turns out that Volume 7 of the Musician's Omnibus was lurking in my collection of originals. It's the same publisher (Elias Howe, 88 Court Street) and the exact same typographical format inside. The copyright date is 1882. The pagination begins with p. 601, whereas the "Quintuple" I gave you ended with p. 304. The intervening pages must, of course, be in volume 6. I wonder how many volumes of these things there were!? One cool thing about this volume is that the back cover is an advertisement for Ryan's Mammoth Collection.

An indication of the age of this printing ov Vol. 7 is that the publisher is shown as Elias Howe Co., 88 Court Street, whereas the photocopy Quintuple I gave you was published by Elias Howe, 88 Court Street. According to Dichter and Shapiro, Elias Howe (Jr.) was at that address from 1880 - 1898, and Elias Howe Co. was there from 1898 - 1914. This volume must have been printed post-1898 despite the 1882 copyright date.

Whenever I get around to making a photocopy of this volume I'll make sure you get one.

Thanks Carl I've been sort of out of touch, just doing tons of local gigs. I signed up here because of the confusion about the MFA thing

Thanks, Carl. I'm still fairly new at five string. But I really enjoy it. I am very interested in the music represented on the Library of Congress volume "Black Appalachia". The music style is raw and challenging. See you soon. Dena

Many thanks, Carl! The very first copies of "Scales and Arpeggios for Five String Banjo" were photocopied. Later it was still photocopied and reformatted, and finally in 1982, it was self published, about 180 pages. 

     It's been completely formatted, just having undergone its 4th short run printing, now

industry standard graphics and some photos, 260 pages. Should you want a copy, I'll be delighted, and offer a special discount. 

     I doubt if any other book examines the banjo in such depth in all keys. 

    Let's maintain the dialog. 

    Congratulations on your website. 

    Some years ago, I began to reformat the Converse method, and I think it would be a great idea to have a generic, thorough Minstrel banjo compendium, embracing all the best methods and incorporating the best evidence of the past and best exemplars of the art who are with us today.

   I like your website, particularly the word processing available for comments and interaction.

    I'll share a proposal for an alliance of every aspect of the banjo art soon.

Warmest regards,

Peter W. Pardee

Carl--

I had a very good time at the conference too.  When I made it back over the mountains to my humble abode, inspired by Greg Adams' accompaniment of a dancer and Bob Winans' variations, I turned "Injin Rubber Overcoat" into something completely unrecognizable, but really fun to play.  Best wishes to George, Susan, and the park rangers for such a magnificent event.  And once again, great hat, Joel.--Rob Morrison
