I like it when we apply the techniques from the tutorials and then use other period sources to expand the repertoire!  No doubt banjoists of the mid-19th C applied the banjo to other popular music of the day such as brass band, fife &drum, and social orchestra music, etc.

Paul, I found Ryan's Mammoth Collection.  It says they're fiddle tunes. Does the music as written work for banjo? Or is that where Tim comes in with adaptation? Thanks in advance...

I don’t have the collection. I’m playing Tim’s arrangement.

Thanks, Tim! Good to know. I didn't want to buy it and have a "non-useful" book, since I don't play fiddle.

Great! Thanks, Tim! I'll check it out...
