Langey-Carl Fischer Banjo Tutor

[Wes Merchant]

I've only learned to read music in the last several, but over the years I've bought music books with the thought that one day I would learn. I pulled one off the shelf today that I believe I bought in Boston about 1974, the Langey-Carl Fischer Banjo Tutor. It was a reissue in 1959 of an earlier book, internet sources say 1890. Any body know anything about this one? It's has a lot of the old tunes with a few classical pieces thrown in as well.

A couple of scans.

Yes, great little tutor, it is what I used to learn to read.

It is almost the same as the "Eclipse Self Instructor etc" on my website.  There are a few less pieces but it is just about the same.

Thanks Joel, I noticed the price sticker is still in the front, I paid  22¢ for it.
