Several sources state this a Reser alias, although it is not sure. This recording doesn't sound like a typical Reser recording. Harry Reser (1896-1965) was an American banjo player and bandleader. Born in Piqua, Ohio, he was best known as the leader of The Clicquot Club Eskimos. Reser was regarded by some as the best banjoist of the 1920s. He played with midwestern dance bands, relocating to Buffalo, New York in 1920. Arriving in Manhattan the following year, he became an in-demand session musician during the early 1920s. This performance was recorded in 1927. The vocal is by Ernest Hare. I suggest to lower the player sound output, since the default level causes distortion. This seems to be a glitch of the new player. I'm positive this was not the case with the original video before upload.
