W. R. Shaw, Violin and Banjoist, Pennsylvania Syncopators

W. R. Shaw, Violin and Banjoist, Pennsylvania Syncopators
A list of "Coming Musical Events" in the Reading, Pa., Eagle for Sunday, Oct. 21, 1922, p. 34, mentions this music group: "Next Saturday evening the Pennsylvania Syncopators, of Lebanon, one of the best orchestras in the Lebanon Valley, will play [at the "Auditorium," apparently a Reading-area ballroom or other venue]."

W. R. Shaw is also listed as the banjo player for another group, Challis' Collegians, on page 160 in L'Agenda of 1925, the yearbook for Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa.
