GHOST DANCE by Truett and George 1927 - Unusual Guitar duet

Uploaded by cdbpdx on Jan 1, 2011
GHOST DANCE by Truett and George, recorded in 1927. About the most unusual guitar duet I've ever heard, same style as the flip side of this record. Their full names were Velma S. Truett and Harry George. They were banjo and guitar players and designers based in San Francisco. They developed their own unique instrument designs, tunings, and playing style. There can't be many of these records out there...
Enjoy!

@KawhackitaRag since I play this tune (I have used it in silent movie accompaniments, although it makes a great stand-alone composition), I might post a video of me playing it sometime. It is scored very well and sounds good as-written, although of course the two guitarists here don't play it the way it's written!
Check out the great bio of Cora Salisbury on Perfessor Bill Edwards' site, in the "ragtime resources" section.

Thank you for posting this great recording! This novelette (as this type of composition was originally designated) was composed by Ms. Cora Salisbury and copyrighted and published in 1911, by Will Rossiter, the largest pop music publisher in Chicago at the time. I have the sheet music (it was originally published as a piano solo, and was probably written for the piano since Ms. Salisbury was well-known as a piano teacher and a pianist in vaudeville, accompanying Jack Benny amongst others).
