10015 Fun in a Barber Shop
|
Vess L. Ossman
|
An original banjo conceit which presents Mr. Ossman at his best.
The typical banjo tune is extremely infectious and is full sure to start a general patter of feet.
The "fun" is supplied by ludicrous slide trombone effects introduced in the orchestral accompaniment.
Orchestra accompaniment; composer, Jesse M. Winne; publisher, Walter Jacobs, Boston, Mass. |
