It has come to my attention that all my bravado about Banjo Quest 2006 getting back on track since The Dixie Chicks show has sort of fizzled out. I guess I'm still trying to find a convincing argument that will finally make Mrs. That Dan Guy relent, and allow a banjo into our home...

*For one thing, banjos are generally acoustic, and therefore would not require further investment in amplifiers and such. That cost-savings alone should make a banjo attractive, but I fear even that is not enough...

*A banjo is very pleasing to the eye, what with the general construction similar to a lollipop. That reminds me, I need more lollipops...

*The upkeep of a banjo would be far less espensive than my guitars, as a banjo typically only has four strings instead of six. That is a savings of over $3.25 a year!!!!

*Some of the biggest names in entertainment have featured banjo on their songs, including Kermit The Frog, Loudon Wainwright III, and Christina Aguilera (at least I'm pretty darn sure). So why not me?? Just sayin'...

*Even kids in Arkansas get to have banjos. Again, just sayin'...

Chow for now!!

I must apologize for Mrs. That Dan Guy, dear readers. It appears she has come off her medication again....

Sorry sista!

"tempted to be anonymous"......since Mrs. is off the meds

Okay, well first Ghetto Girl, the famed feather wreath is a work of art! One to be admired from afar and from up close. Oh,those colors! It brings me such happiness!
And as for you Mr That Dan Guy, perhaps no banjos would be forced to spend winter nekked, but you might be, OUTSIDE IN THE DOG HOUSE, if you keep this banjo fooey up!
Attention Blog Readers: Go for the feather wreath, it will bring you peace and joy, a banjo will only bring you racket and lollipop-shaped misery! Banjo fooey!
Chow! (Oops, that is Mr That Dan Guy's sign-off)

Solution: A banjo made out of feathers ?

If Banjo Quest dies in 2006 there are things in the house that need pickin' I'm sure.

Don't forget 2007 is a mere 27 days away so many Ney Year's Quests can be picked up then.

Ya' all come back now ya' hear?

Don't forget Mrs.ThatDanGuy needs those meds for obvious reasons so I have sympathy for her.

I've got something that needs lancing more than picking...

Banjo Quest 2006 is NOT going to go away quietly. I may, but Banjo Quest will NOT!!!
