OLLY OAKLEY

Olly Oakley was a master of the zither banjo in England and his recording of *The Columbian March* shows why, in my humble opinion, he was considered to be the best.

MORRIS

Morris the well-known professional banjoist) was a busy teacher of the banjo during the banjo boom of the 1920s he had zither-banjos made especially for him by a local man named Jim Gough. The demand for the instruments among Morris's many pupils was more than Gough could cope with and George Morris had turn to Temlett and Windsor for his supplies. The Morris zither-banjos were well made instruments and highly thought of at the time
