Weidt, Albert John (1866-1945)
Born in Buffalo NY, on Feb.

December 9, 1945. A highly
prolific composer and arranger
of light entertaining works
for the fretted instruments,
A. J. Weidt had nearly three
hundred works published during

five-string classic banjo, and
later the tenor banjo, he also
published ninety-four works
for guitar and many others for
mandolin and mandolin
orchestra. Basing his career
in Newark, New Jersey, Weidt

Orchestra of 100 members, the
Whyte Laydie Banjo Club, the
Gibson Mandolin Orchestra and
the Ideal Banjo Club. An
