Notes: Fancy Dance, from Buckley's New Banjo Method of 1860. Not actually in standard open G, but in minstrel tuning eAEG#B. Perfectly playable in Briggs tuning of dGDF#A.
To play on a modern banjo, tune your fourth string down by two semitones and you'll be in a transposition of minstrel tuning.

Notes: A few months after I started playing banjo, I found myself wanting to play Happy Birthday for my sister-in-law. I was dissatisfied with the tabs available, and knocked this together. It's simple, meant for clawhammer-style playing, and actually uses the fifth string.
