Banjo


©2016 Robert Randall Burke


When I took up this banjo
I was just a boy
The other fellas laughed at me
To bring along a toy
But I had some room
So I stuck it in my pack.

After every battle
The boys would gather round
And listen to a mountain tune
That high and lonesome sound
And say a quiet prayer
For the ones ain't comin' back.

They said...
“Play that banjo loud, boy
And we'll give a Rebel Yell
Let them Yankees think
We're demons
Comin' straight from hell
We'll be livin' short
But we'll be dyin' well
To this old banjo playing Dixie.


This old banjo tells a story
Of good men come and gone
The spirit of survivors
Who just keep pushin' on
Through the smoke and fire
To see their Maker's face.

It took a miniball at Shiloh
I patched it with some tar
Never thought that this old thing
Would ever get this far
But it lasted long enough
For the two old men
To shake hands.


They said...
“Play that banjo loud, boy
And we'll give a Rebel Yell
Let them Yankees think
We're demons
Comin' straight from hell
We'll be livin' short
But we'll be dyin' well
To this old banjo playing Dixie.


When I took up this banjo
I was just a boy
The other fellas laughed at me
To bring along a toy
But I had some room
So I stuck it in my pack
I had a little room
So I stuck it in my pack.



Thanks for listening.



Regards,

Bob

Bob.......

Deja vu all over again.

The banjo opening is spectacular! That has never occurred to me - you pieced that together well!!!

The write is solid - as all of yours are. I'll send it back at ya - Tight! Not a wasted word! Excellent.

The arrangement is perfect - the build is smooth. The return to sparse, perfectly done.

Worth many listens. Each a delight.

Bob,

Very well done in every aspect!
The way you build and then soften the backing in alignment with the lyrics is so effective.
I also enjoyed the moving video images.

Bob,

I really enjoyed the song and the story.

Nice clear production and gorgeous vocals (love the harmonies by the way).
Oh and the banjo was first class.

Overall, an excellent listen worthy of quite a few more plays.

Cheers
Rec

Great Bob!! That's what I call a crafted chorus! This is an outstanding song. Melody and lyrics fuse perfectly. A story so well told and a production/mix so well executed. Doesn't get any better than this. Awesome!! Great to see you back around again. Take care. Greg

My old boss was from Philadelphia and never believed me when I explained we are just in a truce as we secretly rearm.

Then they lifted the Hunley from the depths, restoring her at the Charleston Naval Shipyard shortly after the northern aggressors surrendered the shipyard back to us....

Recently 3 old cannons were lifted from storage in the Great Pee Dee River near Florence....

A picture is starting to unfold....

Enjoyed your song.
