"Banjo Tramp" is old-time breakdown in D Major. The parts are played AAB.
There are similarities to the Kerry Mills composition "Whistling Rufus". The source is usually traced to Ohio fiddler Ward Jarvis, who learned the tune from the legendary blind fiddler Ed Haley (eastern Ky.). The banjo tablature is by John Letscher who says he got it "from Ward Jarvis by way of Claire (Milliner) and Walt (Koken)".The banjo tab has the A and B parts reversed. It was recorded by Ward Jarvis, Dana Loomis & Grey Larsen on Visits (1981). There are numerous versions available on youtube. |
