Strange Brew by John Deering for December 23, 2020

Going to Looziana, his true-love 4-2-C.

The definition of “perfect pitch” is tossing an accordion into the dumpster and having it land on a banjo.

Yes, I could play Lady Of Spain as a kid!!

I’ve visited Alabama and I didn’t get a banjo when I left. Is that a new thing?

A kneedless memento.

I always thought it was “Come from Louisiana…”

…y’all don’t come back now, y’hear?

LMAO!

The ten states most dependent on receiving money from the Federal Government traditionally vote republican, and most of them make noises about seceding.

Alabama is in the that list. Maybe we should let them go and save the money.

“Yur eyes are pretty blue like the window cleaner.”

Maybe, now, Suzanna will quit crying for me!

Stephen Foster, composer of “Oh! Susanna,” didn’t play banjo and was probably never in Alabama.

“I used to be an Alabaman like you. Then I took a banjo on the knee.”

The handmade gourd instruments that would become the modern banjo originated in West Africa. Enslaved Africans carried the “banjar” and its music to North America by way of the Caribbean. But don’t tell that to the good ol’ boys lest they get conflicted about listening to bluegrass…

Good one, RAGs!
