Very nice performance Bob.  Good tone on the banjo, too.

Thanks for your comments!  I just posted my 2 pages of tab for "Spangle".  I'm working on learning to play straight from the notation, but as of now it's slooowww going.  Also, the tab has been transposed from A to G.

Love it! The little slide made me smile every time.

Thanks for posting the tab Bob. Sure does shorten the learning curve.

Well played! Mr. Converse may owe a bit of a nod to  James Hill's Wonder Hornpipe which is found in Bb in the older books, but shows up in O'Neill's as Coey's set in G.

I enjoy sourcing this stuff. I have O'neills 1001 - same book?

It's in the "1850" which is available free on the web I'll post a link if you can't find it.. The Bb version is in Ryan's and may be in Kerr's Merrie melodies as well.
