Happy Darwin Day, everyone! As those who've been around a while know, I re-post this now-eleven-year-old video in celebration of Charles Darwin's birthday on this date, but I'm sure there are those lucky enough to have managed to avoid it thus far, and so I inflict it annually on everyone, yes, especially the innocent.
BTW, I am (clearly) still around, but rarely check in here, as I no longer play music, owing painful osteoarthritis in my hands.
My best wishes to all my old and new friends!

Sorry to hear about your arthritis. I fear losing the ability to play myself someday. Love the playing and song on the YouTube link; Darwin's one of my heroes. Fun fact: he and Abraham Lincoln were born on the exact same day, February 12, 1809—Lincoln in a rough log cabin with a dirt floor, Darwin in a country manor house.
Thanks!

Thanks!
And Lincoln was a fan of Darwin's writings on Natural Selection.

Thanks! Talk about squeezing words in, did you happen to see my recording vis-`a-vis the spitting spider genus Scytodes? (No banjo, but at least there's some rudimentary guitar accompaniment.)
