The Darkies' Spring Song..1901..Egbert Van Alstyne
There's a recording of this tune in Original recordings played by Charles Mansell and I've included a recording by the Arthur Pryor band with this post. I took my arrangement from the piano score and I've had to rewrite/amend parts of it to make it more suitable for banjo. In the section from bar 85 to 92 I've replaced the grace note triplets in the piano score with full triplets. It's challenging to play in parts but it makes for a great banjo tune none the less. I'm sure that someone in Banjo Land will be able to post other banjo arrangements...Steve.

Oddly enough, the Dallas publication has a conflict in the TRIO repeats (voltas) between the 1st and 2nd banjo parts. One would only notice when playing as a duo (of course) and correcting it was pretty easy. If anyone wants a corrected copy (or Tab for both parts), let me know.
