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]
Pitch Burgundy Plaster
Fretless minstrel banjo with guitar and percussion, from 1855. [more inside]

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.
Kentucky Juba
A short but stately exercise from Frank Converse's 1872 The Banjo and How to Play It.

Instrumental on fretless minstrel style banjo, played more or less as arranged by Phil Rice in his 1858 banjo instructor. [more inside]
