I know this is one that people play, here it is with both banjo parts and piano, complete with the title sheet.

Having just now read through Turner's 7th I was struck by the similarities between the repertoire therein and Fun On The Wabash.  FOTW is not a two part tune but its musical content is consistent with what I found in Turner's. Does anyone know when either was published?

I didn't have the title sheet or the piano part. Thanks!

There's also the FVE version, "Hoosier Frolics" with Vess Ossman's name on it. I only got 20 measures in before I decided the Dallas arrangement was better.

The title sheets are nice, they add to the whole experience for me.  I love the fonts and design elements... all of it. 

Yes. I studied calligraphy as a teen, had all the pens, etc. I look at these fanciful covers and think of the poor sap sitting at his scrivener's desk in a tenement attic somewhere, scratching out florid covers for pennies a day and dreaming of being Charles Dana Gibson...

Not to mention the lead exposure that all these engravers of printer's devils got.
