Another good tune by Northrup that could have been written for banjo. The piano score was written Bb/Eb but C/F fitted the banjo much better. In the second part, my suggested fingering leans towards melodic style as I found it the easiest way to play the rapid triplets. If you liked my three Northrup tunes, have a look and listen to Louisiana Rag in the library, an arrangement I wrote some years back...Steve.
