  2. I’ve always loved the banjo sound, reminding me of the Mississippi, the Appalachians, my ancestors and yours. Banjo dreams my darling! May you enjoy five strings of harmony in all your travels

  3. Oh, dear, I do want a banjolele. Mix of ukulele and a banjo, same fingerings. But they are so incredibly expensive. Such a unique sound, though. I wonder what it says about me that a ukulele isn’t unique enough, I need to try to mix it with a banjo.

  6. my father used to play the banjo. he was in a local country and western act that would play the various bars around town. he was never particularly good at it, not like my uncle whip. no, my father’s forte was the six string guitar. on weekends, he would play that all night and into the morning, with his and my mother’s friends, sitting around the table, laughing and drinking.

  8. string instrument, twang, whiskey, old people. Can you play the banjo? I most certainly cannot. Would I like to? Yes, yes I would. In the south people play the banjo.

  9. i was at a friends house when another man walked in with a banjo, playing and singing, with a twang in the air and paint on his pants. they smoked some weed and played some music, it was a glorious time, another friend listens to banjo music every thursday, i’d like to go sometime, it’s a nice sounding instrument

  10. My grandpa had a banjo and he played it for me when I was a little girl. He taught me a song about a man who had just fifty cents and wanted to take his girl out. I can’t remember the melody nor the lyrics now and it makes me sad. He was so happy when he taught me the words. Later in life, he was a sad man who lost two wives.

  11. it’s something you play. the strings are stiff and course and leave an aching and throbbing numbness in your digits. it’s a great american instrument that has seen a recent comeback in ‘indie’ music as of late. it’s got a lot of charm, like an accordian does.

  15. I never had a banjo. Becca’s dad did. I bought a ukulele instead. I hear the banjo is hard to tune, hard to learn, but obviously worth the effort. I want to see more banjos, I think.

  16. strumming. twanging. like the strings attatched to my heart. And not the good kind of twang. The harsh, hard, forceful kind that stings.

  21. a fun instrument. I think of dueling banjos in the movie don’t remember the name, but it was one of the most remembered movie scene I’ve ever seen. Other than that, it’s not really an instrucment I’m familiar with. Should I write about it, I’d be

  22. i want to play the banjo. music is everlasting. music connects us all. the banjo makes me smile. who plays the banjo? i don’t think I know anyone who plays the banjo. If you play the banjo, i’ll love you forever. Forget about our problems, just play a song. Don’t think. Just listen.

  23. The banjo was one of my favorite instruments in 11th grade. I remember we read Huckleberry Finn in English class…that was back when I like Sammy. Life seemed ok then, it was spring, and I was looking forward to the end of school. It was a hard year, I had worked so hard, made myself sick. I journaled a lot, it didn’t seem like I was becoming someone with deep-rooted issues. But I didn’t realize it, because I was so distracted.

  24. The banjo fell from Henry’s grasp, and clambered down the fire escape.

    “Come back,” he shouted, his voice cracking.

    She turned and glared at him.

  30. He played the banjo and it sounded so sad and happy at the same time. His brown and slender fingers were playing the strings like he never did anything else. His smile was worlds away.

  31. The banjo is a poor cousin to the guitar family. Its major distinction is being the only way to identify incoming hill-billy rape.

  34. The banjo is an instrument of death. It speaks to the souls of the departed. Banjos should be outlawed and denounced by the church.

  35. There’s nothing cool about a banjo. It plays nasty music enjoy by hicks and rednecks. It is the sound of ass an sucks really bad. I don’t like them. I think they’re cheap and lazy instruments. No class. No inspiration. If I had a banjo, I’d never play it.

  36. this is what we named our 4th baby before he was born. My 4 year old at the time had been playing “Banjo Kazooie” on the Nintendo and that was his favorite game. The word brings fond memories for us as a family.

  37. long handle, frangy chords, ringing arrays of hillbilly songs. So let us all sit and sing about the banjo, it’s the thing that brings us together to sip our cheap rum, and pluck our hearts away to an essence of old times.

  38. Carl plucked at his banjo, unable to find the joy and rhythm that used to come naturally to him. Where had the magic gone? What happened to the music?
    Times were hard for everyone, in these parts.

  40. a farmer played the banjo on a warm sweaty sunday night while his wife cooked squirels in the kitchen. the kids were playing in the front garden and uncle jed was shooting shotguns in the woods nearby. the sound of the guns calmed the farmer. he knew he was safe. home.
