    ‎The piano may do for lovesick girls who lace themselves to skeletons, and lunch on chalk, pickles, and slate pencils. But give me the banjo… When you want genuine music — music that will come right home to you like a bad quarter, suffuse your system like strychnine whisky, go right through you like Brandreth’s pills, ramify your whole constitution like the measles, and break out on your hide like the pin-feather pimples on a picked goose, — when you want all this, just smash your piano, and invoke the glory-beaming banjo!

    Hello Tumblr-verse!

    So I’m on the hunt for new music!!

    Don’t care about genre/language/etc ets, just want to expand my library with your help!

    If you like it, I’ll probably like it, so send some titles my way!

    Thanks!

    P.S. I’ve been on a massive Bluegrass kick lately and just started teaching myself to play the banjo, so if you have a favorite bluegrass album and/or anything banjo heavy, it’ll be doubly appreciated!

    Sure its only April, but I’m declaring YMIA my “Album of 2012.”
