Leonard Finseth and Selmer Ramsey

This is a fun tape to unearth! Selmer Ramsey of Thief River Falls, Minnesota was one of the Upper Midwest's great band leaders in the early to mid 1900's.  Here he is trading tunes with Leonard Finseth of Drammen Township, Wisconsin.  There was a little bit of talking between tunes, but not much.  Selmer points out, "There used to be so much going on in these old waltzes, nowadays, not so much".  And after Finseth plays his Old-Time Polka in G (UMFF G21), Selmer says, " My dad used to play that and Andy DeJarlis too".  Unfortunately one side of the tape just won't play even after i cleaned my nice cassette deck.
