This is my final arrangement of the CLJ tunes, the front cover of the score shows it as a Tango or One-Step. I think Johnson was cashing in on the Tango craze of the time as apart from the second section of the trio, it doesn't sound very Tango like to me but suppose with a bit of imagination, it could just about be played as a tango. The whole composition is a mixture of styles including a Polka for the second movement. 

I've arranged it in C as the original key of F didn't fit the banjo. To make the second part of the trio easier to play, I've suggested tuning the 4th. string to D. Overall it makes a pretty good banjo tune and the scores and midi are in the library...Steve.
