Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

Here is another neat book.  This one came by way of Marc Smith (trapdoor here).  I like the Ragtime Study on page 60.  

It is in A notation and relevant to this group as it includes, also on page 60, "Buck Dance."  This is known to us because Clarke Buehling called it "Take Your Foot Out Sand, Stick It In The Mud."

The book mostly includes previously published sheet music, many with 2nd banjo parts.

At any rate, the cover includes a good woodcut of a Whyte Laydie #7 and the collection gives a nice overview of popular music in the late 19th century.

Enjoy...
