With A Banjo on my KneeThere was an interesting convergence of events over the last couple of days. I was poking around and found myself mentioned in an article about a concert in Auburn Alabama. They were letting local people play and I was one of them. Somebody apparently spoke to me but I don't remember that part.
I spent a couple of years down there and had a great time. There was lots of home-grown music everywhere and people were very friendly. I hooked up with a rather unusual fellow named Burns Lollar and we played around town a bit. We were both odd ducks in our own way and made for an even more unusual duo. We made a CD at one of the local studios, more as a souvenier of what we were doing than anything. It was kind of a hillbilly They Might Be Giants thing. I did the graphics for the CD, with little illustrations for the songs. This one was for Chair Trilogy, one of Burns' tunes about an obsession with a chair, which we grafted onto one of mine, Beautiful, Beautiful Psycho Bitch (that gives you the idea).
Oddly, this morning I got an email from Burns and his woman. It's odd because I haven't had any contact with them for a few years, and had even tried to locate them not long ago without success and figured they were lost to me. That dang Collective Unconscious I guess.
