I was a pupil of Michele Ortuso,famous Italian-American banjo player.He was telling me of this record,as he had played with Dajos Bela.I am happy to have been able to hear it.Ortuso was playing a Style C Paramount tenor banjo.Veniero Molari
I think these musiciens listend very good to Harry Reser's band. He has nearly the same arrangement and the solo's, exept the banjo solo are very simular.
Now that you suspect Dajos of copying Reser, I also became aware of the striking resemblance. Especially the Six Jumping Jacks on Brunswick sound almost the same. If I didn't know this record, and the vocal was by a voice somewhat closer to Tom Stacks, I bet I would offhandedly identify it as a Reser recording. But at that time, almost all German Dance bands copied the US bands. Mitja Nikisch and George Boulanger were among the few exceptions.
