Amazing skills - haven't heard this one before, I think this a Cammeyer tune.

Very cool! The Pink Lambert cylinder...very rare (1900 to 1906, and pink wasn't the only color). They go for lots of money to collectors.

Anyone have the sheet for this? The old ABF spread-sheet shows "piano" but no banjo. Maybe piano with the small banjo score above?

I have never seen the sheet music unfortunately.  There is a nice description of Olly Oakley's typical live performances on page 8 in this article on the zither banjo website and mentions him playing Gallopade: http://www.zither-banjo.org.uk/pages/Oakleybiog.pdf
