Conversation. Especially literature and language, education, football and baseball, movies, history, then and now, birds, two-lane roads. "Banjo" is a fun word, and the instrument can make fine music. But this isn't really a blog about banjos, except in the metaphorical sense of interesting sounds riding across a valley from one porch to another. Click on any photo to enlarge.

Blue Bonnet Lane, Don Edwards
Bluebonnet, blueberry, toe-MAY-toe, toe-MAW-toe
I hope we're about open minds and broadening horizons here. I suppose I'm really pushing it with cowboy music, but Don Edwards is good, and his albums sound even better than this (does that mean they're mechanized?). Of his CDs, I especially recommend West of Yesterday.
If you need some comedy to wash down the taste of tumbleweed, try the group Riders in the Sky, with "the idol of American youth," Ranger Doug, his milky baritone and yodeling.
