Lumb'rin' Luke..1901..J. A. Silberberg.
Silberberg was an accompanist with the Victor Talking Machine studios and also accompanied the likes of Vess Osman and Brooks and Denton. I've included a picture of him with Brooks and Denton. I couldn't find a score for this tune and had to work from a transcribed midi. There is a recording by Olly Oakley in the music archives but my arrangement differs from Oakley's playing as I wrote the arrangement before listening to the recording. It's another barnstormer of a tune and I've set the midi tempo to 'Oakley speed' which I'll admit is a bit too challenging even for my aging fingers! It's well worth a look and listen. The score and midi are in the library..Steve.

Nice work Steve.
The G.L Lansing "English Tuning" arrangement, for solo & 2nd bjo, also in G, was published in the US by M Witmark & Sons in 1902. (found recently in an obscure library collection).
At Oakley tempo the two banjos started sounding like a dogfight, so playback tempo is reduced a bit (MM =118 vs 124) .
