Bluegrass “Live” on the Marietta Square
Hot night on the Marietta Square! Thanks to the fiddlers for the music and Thomas Kerns for the video.
If you are around Marietta GA on a Tuesday evening, drop by the Australian Bakery for bite and some great music and fun!

Banjo Therapy
I have played guitar and bass for years but have always had a hankering’ to play the 5 string banjo. Lately, I have been taking lessons and really enjoying it! I have found out that this “wild and crazy guy” was right about banjo music… “The banjo is such a happy instrument–you can’t play a sad song on the banjo – it always comes out so cheerful.” -Steve Martin.
Our great American humorist, Mark Twain, put it like this: ” When you want genuine music – music that will come right home to you like a bad quarter, suffuse your system like strychnine whiskey, go right through you like Brandreth’s pills, ramify your whole constitution like the measles, and break out on your hide like the pinfeather pimples on a picked goose – when you want all this, just smash your piano, and invoke the glory-beaming banjo!”
So, if you are feelin’ a little down, get our your banjo and pick some rolls. I guarantee your troubles will melt away and you will be healed of all your sad thoughts…. And if you don’t own a banjo, go to Banjo.com and getcha one!
