Apparently, the banjo playing I admire was by N.A.Sisty, about whom "The Banjo on Record" has zero info. The 1920 Census
has a Nicholas A.Sisty living in NYC, born about 1885. Can't find anything else about him, online. He did make a couple
Edison records as "Sisty & Seitz's Banjo Orchestra" - and I'm finding nothing on Seitz, either.
