@oxdrift76 your dad was harry reaser?

[oxdrift76]

By the early thirties, Reser had introduced a rythym guitar into the band including the Cliquot Club Eskimos group. We (my family) still have pictures of the band in their eskimo suits. My dad was the guitarist and his final instrument before he left the band was a Gibson L-5 he and Reser picked-up the the factory while playing in Michigan. That was 1934. An L-5 cost $275.00 at the time; a small fortune.

Enjoy the music

Reser's banjo work is extrordinary but the arrangement as a whole loses the melody of "Tiger Rag." The accompanying pics are a treat.
