"Sunflower Dance"- Banjo solo: FRED VAN EPPS

[EmmetEarwax]

I have this on an album of Edison records, cylinder & disk(plus ad slogans and a doll's voice) I purchased at the former Edison labs in NJ.

For some fool reason, I suggest the alternate title "Perspicacity requires a head" with a picture of headless,limbless figures marching across a field.

Very nice banjo record!

Van Epps had a strong interest in recording, as well as in playing. In the heyday of long-playing records, he invented and patented

a cutting-recording lathe capable of producing microgrooves up to 1000 to the inch. He admitted no company would ever go to that extreme, but he commented that "it as a great selling point."
