Every year I get so excited as April 8th approaches - the day when I get to celebrate my reason for being! And today's the day! Yes, it's NATIONAL BANJO DAY! And while the world is moaning and groaning about tariffs, I'll be in my Cave without a pluckin' care in the world! Maybe I'll leave the windows open so the world can hear me - that should scare them out of their fear!

To celebrate NATIONAL BANJO DAY I will NOT be playing "Duelling Banjos" or this next jaunty tribute to the instrument du jour

Hey, Mr. Banjo, play a tune for me
Play, Mr. Banjo, a happy melody
Well, we'll clap our hands and we'll stamp our feet
You keep strumming while we keep the beat
Play, Mr. Banjo, a pretty melody

Hey, Mr. Banjo, plunk another tune
Hurry, Mr. Banjo, the night ends all too soon
Make your banjo talk while we dance and sing
Do a fancy walk while you pick the strings
Hey, Mr. Banjo, plunk a tune for me

Hey, Mr. Banjo, play us just one more
Play, Mr. Banjo, just like you did before
When the stars are high and the moon is low
Keep on strumming on your old banjo
Hey, Mr. Banjo, play a tune for me

Hey, Mr. Banjo, play a tune for me!
