If you know me very well at all you will know that I enjoy bluegrass music. In fact, while I like all kinds of music I am very fond of bluegrass music and enjoy playing my mandolin every chance I get. For the four people who have made the effort and found this blog I will now let you in to my world a little deeper. You will find the musical me at www. myspace.com/mandolinwes.

My least favorite bluegrass instrument is the banjo. Of course looking at the pictures in this blog you can see why. Maybe only scary people play the banjo. Seriously, I don't hate it but I don't really enjoy it and never desired to play it much unlike dozens of other instruments I have played during my life. These would include but are not limited to: trumpet, trombone, french horn, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, recorder, accordion, pump organ, mandolin, octave mandolin, uke, harmonica, piano, melodica and juice harp (or Jews harp).

I wonder as I look at this evil man if he ever heard the song Hang Down your Head Tom Dooley? I think that featured a banjo.
