< I just found a Harry Reser side ("Ooh! Maybe It's You" by Irving Berlin 

<on Co 1109-D) with a nice chorus of steel guitar work. Judging by the 

<sound, issue date and location my best guess would be the sg player is 

<Andy Sannella. As is common for Sannella, he is not credited.

<In fact most discographies, including both Rust's Jazz Records and ADB, 

<don't list Reser's massive output or only give him a passing mention. 

<There are virtually no personnel lists, either.

<Jazz and Ragtime Records gives a blanket personnel (but no mention of 

<Sannella) and mentions that one William W. Triggs has tackled a full-on 

<Reser discography. I found a site on Google with Reser banjo 

<transcriptions by Bill Triggs, but that's about it and no mention of a 

<discography.

<How might I access his work?
