I was unable to locate a piano or banjo score for this tune but did find a piano midi on which I based this arrangement. The midi was in C/F but I set it in G/C which was more banjo friendly. I've arranged most of it in a lower octave for ease of playing. It follows the barn dance formula that was popular at the time beginning with a well written syncopated cakewalk and finishing with variations on Turkey In The Straw. I'm pleased with the end result and if anyone has a banjo arrangement, maybe they could post it in order that I can make some comparisons.. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.

Somehow I missed this one.

Here is the banjo version, sorry I only have it in A notation.

Hi Joel, many thanks for that, considering that I only had a midi to work from, my effort isn't too dissimilar....Steve.
