He could be playing trumpet, guitar, mandolin (4 string) or violin as 
well as banjo. His banjo style is usually not hard to pick out. He liked 
a high tuned head and his technique was fast, but with straight melodic 
riffs, though he mostly played straight off the sheet.

I bought the record, but you are probably right. I think he was gone by 
the time this record was cut, but not by much. As I said, he was out in 
Minnesota in 1928, might have returned briefly, but then went to New 
Orleans to work for Saenger.
