Horace Weston's Celebrated Polka
A classic banjo tune by Horace Weston that I learned from "The J. E. Brewster Banjoist", played on a 1930s copy of an 1890s parlor guitar.

There's a few things I'd do differently if I had this to do over. I sat on the rubato too hard for sure.

Thanks, Rob.
I have almost learned a Paul Eno banjo arrangement (on guitar) from the Journal called "Ding Dong Skip Along" aka "The Darky's Wedding." A good piece of music but a lot of parts too.
The guitar pieces I've found in there so far are all more classical than I'm interested in. In that PDF you just linked to there's a polka right near the front called "Louisen Polka" that might be worth trying out. I'm always happy to find fun pieces arranged for guitar, because the good stuff is usually banjo.

That book you linked to is full of great stuff. Any idea how the "Magic Trick Solo" that closes it out looks? That looks crazy.
