This Is This

This ain't something else

Southern Webtists

I wanted to pay e-homage to the world’s greatest banjo player, Earl Scruggs.

There aren’t many people still alive who have not only have changed the face of how people play their chosen instrument but the music associated with it. The guitar heroes burned out, sax players passed away in seedy hotels and pianists are long gone. To tell the truth, there haven’t been may new instruments in the last 50 years, at least not ones with which you would associate with a virtuoso.

So all hail Earl Scruggs, whose fingerpicking style changed the face of bluegrass and country, and he’s still touring. I DARE you to listen to his recordings with Lester Flatt and not crack a smile.

Anyway, I looked him up on google and here was the description:

It’s the word webstie that gets me. I picture this weathered southern gent proudly talking about his “webstie”.

“Mary Jane! That dang webstie’s gone down agin! Folks say it ain’t readin’ good with Winders XP. Get me that thar celluly telephone - I’m gonna tell my ISP about their lack of hospitality.”

By the way - I mean no disrespect to the fine people of the deep south. I lived in New Orleans myself, for a time, and I have family in Texas.
