I've played upright bass, piano, drums, violin and guitar in numberless bands, and after all these years in music I still don't know what it's for, or how it works, or where it comes from. I just leave the window open and hope for birds.
Thanks Becky! Let those artists and musicians know! I love the idea of a banjo & piano support organization ... I'm picturing a sort of AA situation, with a bunch of people sitting in a circle drinking coffee: "My name is Chris Black, and I play the piano and banjo." "Hello Chris."
I'd go!
Alright, Forward March!!! Sounds like HS Band. Chris, we (like I'm part of yor project, rather than a fan...) need to keep spreading the word. Are there Banjo or Piano supporting organizations to appeal to? Regrettably, I still need to spread word to my Artists & Musical friends. Its on my agenda for today. Life has been getting in the way. There are17 days. I WANT this album for my entire family. I hope otherpeople read this post & start reaching. I'll twitter it too. Encouragement & crazy good juju coming your way my friend.
