Don Obertone: Banjo Jam Session

Hard-to-find album that appears to have been issued after Don Obertone's untimely death in 1975. Thanks to the late Steve Caddick for sharing the digital files with me. To me it is up there with Elmer Snowden's 'Harlem Banjo' album for its sheer swing and improvisational joie de vivre and deserves to be heard more widely.

The back sleeve states it was recorded in Houston, Texas in 1973 and issued by 'Golden Banjo Productions'. No information is given about the other musicians.
