Just holding the banjo and fooling around, sometimes you come up with a sound you like.

Inspired by front porch picking.

A happy song, fun to play, with images of little Appaloosas kicking up their heels. Mine was named Cookie. When I sold her, I was able to buy my Bart Reiter Whyte Laydie, so my banjo is named Cookie, too. Honestly.

Probably another one of the very first tunes I learned from John Corzine in So. Cal.

My friend and I still can't resist the affectionate name "Sally in the Garbage."
