I couldn't find any info about the composer of this fun piece of music, described as a two step. The music was published in London so I presume Stapleton to be British. At various points on the piano score there are instructions to 'knock' (on the piano?), I've tried tapping the banjo velum but it didn't work very well so I've omitted them on my arrangement. It took some thinking about to get it to work on the banjo but I'm pleased with the result and it's well worth a listen/play...Steve.
