Buckley's Jig
By G. Swain Buckley, 1860. Solo fretless banjo. [more inside]
Lynchburg Town
Not the old-time tune you may be thinking of. Fretless banjo with a percussion loop. (As it happens, Garageband's Jazz drum kit instrument has a rattle that sounds a lot like a jawbone.) [more inside]
Old Joe
A popular 19th century minstrel tune with fretless banjo, tambourine and vocals. (Different from the old-time tune by the same name, and not related to Old Joe Clark either.) Lyrics as recorded are not offensive.* [more inside]
Power of Music
More fretless minstrel banjo, with tambourine and marginally played bones. This one is from Phil Rice's 1858 Method for Banjo With or Without A Master.
Sugar Cane Dance
An elegantly arranged banjo piece composed by Frank B. Converse for his 1886 Analytical Banjo Method.
