  My friend Abby and I discovered a going-out-of-business sale at a local music store so I bought a banjo, flute and tiny violin for my daughter and Abby bought a violin. We were inspired and decided to form a band where we re-did all the Nirvana songs set to banjo and violin.
We were going to call it "folk you" or something the like. Anyway, the banjo just sat in my closet forever.The only thing I ever learned to play was the first few notes from "dueling banjos" but since I had no one to "duel" with...what was the point? I decided to sell the banjo and a Vera Wang dress I've had for a while. I put two ads in our paper hoping that a female, size 7 ,concert banjoist would call for both the instrument and the dress. I got a call about the banjo from this guy named Ed or Bob or Dirk (I forget) and we decided to meet so he could view the goods.
As he got out of his huge black truck, my first impression is that he may be one of the same guys who played in "This is Spinal Tap. " At the very least he could have been an extra. I kept expecting him to show me an amp and say "But this one goes to 11. " Anyway, he bought the banjo so now its just me, a flute, and a tiny violin. The legend of "folk you" is extinguished before it ever began.
