Notes: Rustic Dance, by CR Howell...probably 1890's (no copyright on my edition). Very popular piano piece, almost the definition of the cartoon "happy dance" of the 30's.

Notes: Norton Greeop's classic tune (just in time for Halloween!). Not difficult but there are some Index-lead bits that are somewhat tricky and perhaps some unfamiliar chord positions. The A and B parts are in Cm, the Trio is in C and then there is a D part in F.

Notes: "Sunflower Dance" is one of the American Banjo Fraternity's most common tunes. It was written by H. Rowland in the 1880's and originally titled "With The Tide Schottische". First recorded by Fred Van Eps in 1905 for Edison. Catchy tune!

Notes: This arrangement comes from a small booklet published in England...probably in the 1990's. It has no publishing data, no attributions but is a group of well-known 1890's tunes in TAB. I re-tabbed it out in TablEdit.
