For enthusiasts of early banjo
Rail Road Polka.
From James Buckley's New Banjo Method, 1860. The arpeggios at the end are nowhere as clean as I'd like them to be, but as the French say "J'en ai marre!" I'm pretty happy with the rest of it.

Paul, terrific job!
That tune... it starts out so deceptively simple... pure evil! lol
I swear these things were written by pianists!

Thanks Strumelia. You're right! Seems like with these tunes there's always one part that's nigh well impossible to play, at least for me. That range of notes for that arpeggio is a train wreck, so to speak...
