I walked down the country road and heard a sound that I had missed since leaving the country. Sitting on his front porch was an old man rocking back and forth in his creaking old rocking chair. He strummed carelessy on his banjo that was as old as he was. I stopped to listen to him play. When he noticed me he smiled at me, I smiled back at him and headed strolled up his long driveway.

there once was a crazy old man. his name was dave. all he ever did was play that old banjo. he took it with him everywhere he went. Dave loved to go walking through the Florida everglades, just strummin’ that banjo. When Dave was 16 he stepped on a snake while playin’ banjo in the everglades.

i wish i could play.

He played the banjo on the old, broken porch, watching the street never sees patrons, that never hears music. He plays the banjo, leaning forward as his fingers move, he leans into memories of long ago times, when the streets were filled.

folk and rustic… it is a pure and impulsive sounding instrument. The songs coming from it are joyful and straight from the heart. Simple and complex, metallic and rhythmic.

Banjo elicits a wonderful memory of my father. He decided to learn how to play banjo shortly after my mother died.
I loved listening to him practice each day and hearing him share what he had learned. He has been gone for almost 8 years now but I still remember him and his banjo.

I love the banjo. It reminds me of a small lake, not the evil one with that people who kill you, but the soft overalls and smell of pancakes cooking, maple syrup hot from the woods. The smell of rain and the trees and the forest that surrounds you in the midst of your imagination and the deers who talk to you softly.

he sat on the stoop
& played.
his fingers swept so
furious and his croaking
voice was so powerful
that i flashedback
to memories i can’t
even be sure are real.
he picked hurricanes &
and sang tsunamis &
all i could do was
stand on the sidewalk
& embrace it.

dueling banjos and old mountain people scare me. smaller and higher pitched than a guitar. that’s about all i know about banjos.

All banjo players should have arrows through their heads. They should be accompanied by an orchestra of bagpipes tooteling in the wind. Nothing should stop them, not even time itself. Or herself – that’s what she said.
But she was wrong. Only her mother knew, only her mother could look in her eyes and tell her, “dear you’re wrong.”
But being wrong is only half right, half the time.

a instrument. southern. can make horrible sounds. hick town. giganor. banjo cazooie.

It was the same thing every single time. And it didn’t change anything. She felt exactly the same every time. It was irrelevant and lovely. She wished for more, but she didn’t feel like she was settling. No, she didn’t feel like she was settling.

Banjos are stupid.
Actually, i’ve never really listened to one.
I guess i should expand those horizons.
Whatever, banjos are for country people.
I’m not country.
There is gangster shizz blasting out my speakers.
Someone get me out of this mess, it’s messing up my flow.

I can’t really stand country music. Banjo’s remind me of hillbillies, and bluegrass, and inbreeding and fried chicken. There’s nothing to like about a banjo, or a person playing one.

an instrument that hillbillies play
lindsay
She saw the same word at the top of the screen and still thought of a single memory to go with the word. It was all in the way they looked down at the banjo that stuck with her. There was nothing particularly special about that day but she remember as if it was the best day of her life. Maybe it was. She values the simple things. Like banjoes and music. And long lost family

They sat there playing the banjo. Not looking at eachther, looking at the banjo itself. It meant something to them that they couldnt put into words.

She strummed the strings of my heart like a banjo. I was sure they would snap if she plucked any harder. I was starting to buckle under the pressure of her promise.

i am playing a banjo one day when i find out that my banjo is magical. it tells only the truth, which is pretty exciting. basically, whenever i play my banjo at people, it tells me something truthful about them. it’s not always a helpful thing to have, really, but it makes my life more interesting. now i know everything about my friends and so that can sometimes be a good thing? i don’t know.
amanda
hmm the first thing i think of when i think of banjo is that video game banjo and kazooie. man, that was fun. a ton of things from my childhood were actually really fun! i loveddddd video games. kind of weird… i bet that comes from my older brother, charlie, though. he’s home for thanksgiving now!

She sat there, on her porch, as the sun set. Not knowing if he would return. A slight breeze blew her hair and the only thought that crossed her mind was that song. She picked up her banjo and sang, and as she did, a single tear fell down her cheek.
