Thank you for this information. 
Music Stack has two copies of the trio's cd: 
one for $55 and one for $99.95! 
I guess I'll keep looking.

The Ragtime Banjo Commission consisted of Jeff Frank of the Pearl Street JB, 
Cal Owen of the Yankee Rhythm Kings, plus Bill Clark and me from the Queen 
City JB. It was inspired by encounters amongst the three banjo players at 
the Sacramento Jazz Festival. We built up the repertoire by mailing charts 
back and forth between Boston and Denver. We played concerts at Sacramento 
the next two or three years, as well as the Central City Jazz Festival and 
at the Arapahoe Grill in Denver. We issued an LP and had a Volume Two all 
wrapped up, but it was sent back with instructions to add enough material to 
expand it to a CD. We could never get together again to do that. Speakng 
off the top of my head, this all happened in probably 1979 to 1983.
