Jsou písničky, které se obvykle líbí. Mají něco. Nevím co. Něco. Jedna z nich je Knocking on Heaven's Door. A je jedno, která verze. Já mám rád tu od Petra Kalandry.

Snažím se tu skladbu vymyslet na svou #openback pětku, ale furt to není ono. A včera na mě vykouklo video od BanjoSkills a hle, je to tady! Přišlo mi to tak jednoduché a esenciální, už to skoro umím. A čím víc to hraju, tím mi to přijde jednodušší a míň zajímavé. Máte to také tak? S čímkoli? Že když se to něco naučíte, místo abyste si připadali jako king, říkáte si spíš: A to je všechno?

#ClawHammer - "Blank Frank" (1990)

Saw these incredible fellas play at least a half dozen times back then. Every gig felt like I was witnessing some beautiful vestige of Hollywood #punkrock spirit revealing itself one last time, just for me.

It's #BanjoFriday again. This week's banjoist is Rob Stenson, a "modern", higly virtuosic #clawhammer player who employs some unusual playing techniques.

In 2023 he released the "Gold Mountain EP" on YouTube and Bandcamp, produced by #Vulfmon/Jack Stratton.

The EP was recorded directly into a handheld recorder on the sidewalk of a road in Los Angeles - as a comment on Bandcamp says: "#Banjo in its natural habitat"

Benny Bleu and his friend Titus pickin' on an Amtrak was the start to my day I didn't know I needed.

#ThreeGoodThings

- I had dinner with a friend from graduate school whom I had not seen for a number of years. She asked what I was reading, so I showed her my copy of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "Americanah". It turns out she is reading it at the moment too! We're both enjoying it a lot.

- I was in a hurry so I stopped at Taco Cabana for lunch and ordered the steak taco combo. I was pleasantly surprised by both the tacos and the inclusion of chips and queso.

- I bought some Clawhammer peppermints partly because I wanted some mints and partly because I liked the design on the tin. I was pleased to see after my purchase that they are made in Canada. If you are in the USA, don't buy them from Amazon, because they are horribly overpriced there.
