Announcement
"Make a Fuss Over Me, played by the Ossman Banjo Trio. Edison record."
The Ossman Banjo Trio was comprised of banjoists Vess L. Ossman (the great 'Banjo King'),
Parke Hunter, and Bill Farmer.
Although their cylinders were well-recorded and sold well, the trio recorded
just 2 two-minute wax cylinders for Edison.
No. 8859, "Make a Fuss Over Me," is another fine selection
by the Ossman Banjo Trio.
It is [written] by Theodore F. Morse, who wrote "I've Got a Feelin'
for You," which was listed last month as a banjo trio.
The three banjos are plainly heard.
The Record is well played, as is to be expected from such well known artists
as Messrs. Ossman, Hunter and Farmer."
