Everybody plays music for different reasons, but sometimes there seems to be an unspoken common thread. I’m not 100% sure, but it might involve hippies cooking pinto beans.

I always loved music, playing trombone in Jr band at Salvation Army from age nine, then through school. Facial Paralysis stopped that so picked up the banjo which had been in a closet for years. Lots of practice and love playing but banjo doesn’t always fit in. So now I’m learning guitar. Play both at church for “special music”. Add playing the tuba in our church band to the mix, still Salvation Army, and that’s my life of music.

That’s my kind of evening, right there. Wish I was there with you. Was that Mr. Bojangles playing at the first of the video?
Are you guys gonna make it to one of the camps this year?

First, that ain’t me & me wife. It’s just a couple old hippies I found on the internet. You know how those rabbit holes go!
Second, that could be me & me wife, as we to love to cook over an open fire, love good music & she grew up on pinto beans.
Third, if I ever suggested a different way to season pinto beans, my funeral would be three days later.
Finally, there’s nothing better than sittin’ around pickin’ while someone else does all the work. I think that’s what they do at Banjo Ben’s camp, but we’re not going. That would involve getting out of my comfy chair.

You watched the whole thing!?!
I packed it in after about 7 minutes, because watching beans boil fills me with tension.

“Someone else cook”
Oh how I long to have breakfast at a diner!
My wife is recovering from knee replacement surgery, so I’m cooking three squares a day and then some.
How I miss the music of a pretty voice saying “More coffee, sir?”

I scanned the video at one point they were playing “Classical Gas.” Seemed appropriate. A couple of years ago the local flea market here had a throwback to the '60s day. They have a stage and had bands that played music from Jimmy Hendrix, the Doors, etc. The wife and I dragged out some tie dye shirts and cut-off jeans. To our surprise nobody else geared up. Kind of like going to a Halloween party in costume and finding out no one else wore a costume. It was still fun to walk around saying, “far out, groovy, or cool,” and flash the peace sign at anyone that made eye contact.
