First one is usually called "The Liverpool Hornpipe" and the second "Dick Sands'" after the famous clog dancer. Keys are not the usual ones for fiddlers.

The keys these in which these are written are a convention in banjo notation not necessarily the keys they were actually played in. Banjo strings could be pitched up or down to accommodate their vocals or other instruments. Here's a recent thread on that.http://minstrelbanjo.ning.com/forum/topics/pitch-and-tuning?id=2477...
