  • Grandson’s first request

    Posted by jumpinjeff on March 13, 2025 at 2:30 pm

    I am winning today. My grandson called with His Dad. My grandson is 2. He asked me to play him a song…a song I had never heard once. I looked it up and played it. Sure, he asked why I don’t sound like Dolly and I said, “Grandson, I sing more like Willie than Dolly”, he nodded in agreement. My curse….the song is about a BANJO player. I just can’t get away. : ) =O <3

    This is such an awesome story Jeff!! From the hearts and mouths of babies, huh? BTW, the babe is the grandson. Not that you aren’t too, just not my call – lol.

    Great small win, @JumpinJeff! I love pulling out my guitar for the grandkids (even if it only holds their attention for a few minutes). Maybe next time I will pull out my dusty old banjo! I hope you can see your grandson in person, soon. It’s great when they reach out and explore the strings.

    Hi Fingers!! @BrianSantos , I spent last weekend with him and we sang Apple Jack about a thousand times through. “play a song, let your banjo ringggggggg!!!!!” It is burned into my brain. Happily so with the memory of the joy it brings to the grand! Time for a Tone-versation Zoom?!

    Yeah… I was once “forced” to learn the bluey theme song on ukulele for one of the kids at work….

      Bluey: I had to look that one up. Mom, Dad, Bingo and Bluey. At least there weren’t tons of lyrics to memorize. : )
