Harry Reser (1897-1965) is still considered one of the finest banjo players ever, learn more about his career and recordings at the RedHotJazz website, click here
The novelty rags composed by Harry Reser, available on the shown LP and on the mentioned web, keep challenging banjo players to develop their chops. I found three examples of accomplished banjoists doing their best to cope with Reser's demanded gymnastics on the fretboard.
The first video fragment features Mike Currao playing "Crackerjack"
The second videofragment features Juergen Kulus with Tim Stuip playing "Frosted Chocolate"
The last video this time features String Trio Schleswig-Holstein playing "Lollypops"
