We Love Our Music

Jesus and Bartenders by Larry Cordle. He also wrote "Murder on Music Row", another great song.

The banjo is my favorite instrument. It’s the only one I’ve actually tried to learn & plan to pick it up again some day.

Thanks, great song choice

Larry Cordle is actually an old bluegrass picker... He's made a name for himself in Nashville as a song writer, a long list of great songs. If you ever get a chance to see him live you'd enjoy it.

I've posted this else where in the forum... We'd been picking all afternoon. I stopped to take this photo a few years ago, several of the guys are dead now. Anyway, I began playing bluegrass with some of these guys when I was a kid. The first time I played on a stage I was 9 or 10. The man in the photo playing banjo owned that stage. That night I stood beside the man in the wheel chair...

I played regularly up until about 2012 when the restaurant we played at in Tuscaloosa closed, folks moved away, a couple died... No one left to pick with anymore.

That was a great song to come home and listen to after a 16 hour day. Thanks, Good pick.

A man whom I met at church in ‘07 let me borrow a banjo for 3 months to learn the banjo. He played in a group that looked just like that. They called themselves Finger Picking Good. They would play at nursing homes, mostly, when I got to know them. They praised the lord and prayed for folks. The blue grass was very good I thought.

When things were good one member died and they didn’t play for a while, then, my friend got liver cancer. It didn’t take long to take him home. I miss them...

I just bought tickets to see Elton John next January. We also saw him in February, 2020.

They were so good they were on television on a weekly show. I didn't watch television then, so I don't remember it!

How about something completely different?
An instrument you play without touching? Impossible!!!
Just for Dave. The Theremin:



Yes, we've all heard it before, loved it, and never knew what it was:
