Looking for great banjo music? You could do a lot worse than Brett Turner’s posts on Metafilter Music. They range from sad to playful, from western ballads to just plain fun songs.
I really like So Does Everybody Else, Only Not So Much, an adaption of an Ogden Nash poem that’s “an apology from an aging man who spends his time boring people with the same stories.”
O all ye exorcizers come and exorcize now, and ye clergymen draw nigh and clerge,
For I wish to be purged of an urge.
It is an irksome urge, of nettles and glue,
And it is turning all my friends into acquaintances, and all my acquaintances into people who look the other way when I heave into view.
There’s also several songs in French, and several instrumental pieces. You can get it all here, downloadable as MP3’s.
