    No. 8859, "Make a Fuss Over Me," is another fine selection by the Ossman Banjo Trio.   It is [written] by Theodore F. Morse, who wrote "I've Got a Feelin' for You," which was listed last month as a banjo trio.   The three banjos are plainly heard.   The Record is well played, as is to be expected from such well known artists as Messrs. Ossman, Hunter and Farmer."
