[78-L] Blue Beaver Orch

Just got a red Gennett of the charmingly named 'Blue Beaver Orchestra" which 
is pretty clearly yet another pseudonym for Nathan Glantz.  The tunes are so 
forgettable that I've forgotten them already,  but what is interesting about 
the two mostly run-of-the-mill sides is the outstanding banjo heard on both 
sides...one side just in the ensemble but on the other side he also has a 
very nice break.

He's really good,  and he doesn't sound like any of the guys of that era 
that I've heard a lot of.

Anyone have the record and have an idea who's on banjo?  It's in Rust...the 
first two sides listed under Blue Beaver.

Thanks from

Taylor
