Five-string Beelzebubba
(C) Ed Gregory, BMI
Don't touch those demon strings
Don't try to pluck a single tune
Don't you let that five-string ring
The banjo is addicting
Avoid it if you're wise
Or you'll find that you just can't put down
This devil in disguise
You'll drink your coffee lukewarm
You'll eat your supper cold
'Cause once that banjo's in your hands
It's hard to break it's hold
Oh come into my parlor
Says the spider to the fly
And keep on playing banjo
Says the demon on my thigh
Now I'm pretty near exhausted
I'd like to take a nap
“Let's play some in another key.”
Says the demon on my lap.
You'll drink your coffee lukewarm
You'll eat your supper cold
'Cause once that banjo's in your hands
It's hard to break it's hold

Got into old-time string band music at age 53, started with extremely basic rhythm guitar, then mando, then fiddle, then back to guitar for a move toward flat-picking, and now clawhammer. One of the greatest guitar pickers in the country calls me "bluegrass friendly", but not-yet bluegrass - but I love to sing old bluegrass classics and harmonize. I'm the Webmaster for the Nashville Old-Time String Band Association (NOTSBA) at http://www.nashvilleoldtime.org I'm also the Web host for NashCamp, http://www.nashcamp.com, which is Cindy Sinclair's great package of bluegrass camps dedicated to putting players together with bluegrass heroes.
