Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Juliann Johnson", also known as "Julie Ann Johnson" or "Julian Johnson" is
an old-time breakdown in D Major. It is played in ADae or standard fiddle tuning.
The parts are played AB (Silberberg), AABB (Phillips, Songer) or AA'BB' (Lamancusa).
This is an old-time clawhammer banjo favorite.
I can't find much background for this tune but most old-time banjo players seem
to know it.
I learned it from Riley Baugus at Elderly Instruments' Midwest Banjo Camp.
The banjo tablature given here is by John Letscher.
It was printed in Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994) (as
"Julian Johnson"),
Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes (2021) (as
Julie Ann Johnson),
Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002) (as Julie Ann Johnson) and
Songer's Portland Collection (1997).
