In Buckley's book from 1860, on page 79, is Walk Around by Picayune Butler. The lowest note is a low G. Buckley himself has earlier in the book said that the tuning is eAEG#B (from fifth to first). Is it a typo, or shall the fourth string be tuned lower?

	banjosnapper says: 4/1/2012 3:40:12 AM I think most of those pieces at the "Back of the Buckley" or a hodge podge of fiddle tunes with no regard for banjo arrangement. No thumb string indications. Generally, but not exclusively, I played the ones with one and two sharps as though they are "Briggs" tuning.
