Welcome, Pickers!
The Fiddle Goddess has such adoration of the Glorious Banjo, that she has dedicated a page to the holy instrument!The Banjo player is often ridiculed because of the sound quality and tuning problems of the instrument, so much so in fact, that certain pickers begin to view other musicians as the "enemy"....
- ~ Consider the following epistle ~
"Thank you oh Fiddle Goddess for your tempting invitation to visit
your web-site, but we of the Banjo Faith are forbidden
to enter your cyber-portals because of your blasphemy of our religion.
We, the children of the Banjo, seek enlightenment following
THE SACRED PATH OF FOUR AND A HALF... those who follow
the path of four or six or eight or more are deluding themselves
and will never find THE SACRED PATH OF FOUR AND A HALF.
For it is written in the sacred BOOK OF EARL that
"Only those of CLAW and HAMMER, and of SCRUGGS and KEITH
shall know the blessed melodies of heaven. So thou must followeth
THE SACRED PATH OF FOUR AND A HALF. Thou shalt not
stop at three, nor proceed to five, six is too many, and eight
is right out, so sayeth the prophet." (THE SACRED BOOK OF EARL,
Chapter three, verse twelve). And for those who profane
the one true religion, who dare to mock THE SACRED PATH
OF FOUR AND A HALF it is written in the Book of Earl
that they will be cast into the deepest, darkest pits of
BANJO HELL. To be tormented by Rap Singin' Demons, Raffi,
and the Arch-Fiend, the ANTI-BANJO, MANILO! for all eternity.
REPENT YOUR EVIL WAYS FIDDLE-GODDESSES BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
BE NOT CAST INTO BANJO HELL! BE NOT THE BRIDE OF MANILO!
SALVATION IS YOURS FOR THE ASKING, WE ARE A LOVING AND FORGIVING RELIGION.
(But until you repent you're on our "S"-list and I don't mean sugar, sister)
ODE TO THE BANJO
The Fiddle Goddess must confess, for doubters there may be,
Her true love of the Banjo in String Band Divinity.
Our Blessed Lady of the Strad stands beside her celestial brother,
Such jubilant sounds they happily blend, rapturous music like no other!
An elegant claw-hammer angel's hand frails the holy twanging aparatus,
('Tis Heaven embodied in String Band) that only divine beings may practice.
And yet, alas!, O Banjo Player! There are those sinners who laugh
At the precious pearl, the Book of Earl, and the Sacred Path of Four-and-a-Half!
Perhaps Banjo-envy rules their souls, when they dare to joke and pun,
But they may just be annoying you because it's so much fun.
Be merciful, hold ye no grudge. Yea verily, the truth you must know:
The Goddess loves Banjo and it's Master, and NEVER liked that Manilo!!!
