A Love Letter To The Banjo

(I warned that I would be writing about banjos too much in this blog, so I figure I might as well get a little bit of this out my system for my first music-related post.)



Dear Five-String Banjo,

We have spent a lot of time together. Despite your sometimes aloof, wooden demeanor, I must say you’ve always been there to help me express my happiness and exorcise my grievances. You’ve calmed my nerves when needed, entertained me when I’ve been bored, taught me the rewards of commitment, and so much more. While this may be a bit embarrassing for both of us, I really want to express how much this relationship means to me, including the difficult parts as well as the joys. You need not respond, as I know you express yourself through your confident stoicism as much as your wonderfully quirky voice.
