<p>Steve, yes I was suspecting the name came originally from a description of some type of entertainment comic/character, perhaps from vaudeville stage or earlier. Thanks for the further back lineage!</p>
<p>I have a small collection of limberjacks, and i use them regularly. :)</p>

<p>It's been a long long time since I heard this recording and I'd forgotten how good it was. Can you or anyone else direct me to a fingerstyle score (paid or unpaid). I know Clifford Essex have the plectrum score and with some work I could re-engineer a fingerstyle arrangement, but I would prefer to see an original fingerstyle score if possible.</p>

<p>Hi Russ,</p>
<p>I used the online metronome here: <a href="https://www.8notes.com/metronome/" target="_blank">FREE METRONOME</a></p>
<p>and listened to Olly Oakley recording of Mr Jollyboy. Oakley adds musical changes of tempo, but the nearest I get is that he starts the piece at 48bpm and then in the later sections plays at 90-92 bpm.…</p>

<p>This is not far off the tempos shown on the score. Perhaps you overwound your metronome? ;-)))</p>
