Nancy Tooley's Cake Walk..1899..J.H.Jennings
J.H.Jennings wrote and published music for banjo and guitar and this tune is without doubt written for banjo. I couldn't find a score so I transcribed it from one of Dorian Henry's videos which was written in E/Amaj. G was the obvious key in which…See More

1913 Medley Blues..1913..Alexander Mark Valentine Jnr.
This is a bit different from my usual offerings. It's a well written slow blues that took me some time to work out how it could be played on the banjo. The piano score was written in Bb but I settled on G as it fits the banjo better. I've played…See More
Good Gravy rag.(A Musical Relish)..1913..Harry Belding.
I could find no info about the composer of this tune other than Apple Sass Rag which he also composed. He must have been an accomplished musician as this is a very well composed piece of music. My suggested fingering is a combination of melodic and…See More

The Ragtime King.(A symphony in Ragtime).1899..Mike Bernard..aka..Michael Barnet Brown.
Bernard was one of the early composers and promoters of ragtime music. He styled himself as,"The Ragtime King of the world" This tune was, I think, a bit of self promotion.It's a well written composition and worth a try. I've a number of other…See More
Alabama Hoe Down..1899..R.J.Hamilton
This is a tune that does what it says on the tin (or the title page!)..It's a lively, early composition that could have been written for the banjo. My suggested fingering is a mix of classic and melodic style although I play most of it melodic…See More
