[78-L] banjo player id wanted

[DanKj]

"The Banjo on Record" says it was Ossman & unknown pianist, recorded "ca. June 1901" . Same book shows no Columbia records 
by Brooks.

Vess Ossman definitely (his name is anounced) recorded Salome for Victor around that time - maybe you can compare the two & 
recognize his style.

Here it is:     http://www.box.net/shared/4a1cv6e67s

(Imperial Marimba Band recorded Salome on Edison Diamond Disc, much later ... a favorite record of mine)
