Yes, this tune really makes several appearances. Source material is "Hole In The Wall" from Ryan's Mammoth Collection (pg. 15). I am working up the 1887 version, but not settled on a tempo. The Green 1865 clearly indicates a slow tempo, so I thought I'd start there. The two 16th note triplet figures with grace notes makes me favor the slower tempo for 1887. That gives a lot of hang times on "John Wild's". Hmmm...still experimenting. Your up tempo version sounds good. I think Clarke B has a version somewhere, but I forgot where, and I remember it moving right alaong.
