Tom: D major
Verse 1
Jenny's going to pick on the
This here is a Luscombe banjo.
It was made in the late 1800s,
just about the time
that Mr. S .M. Brown
was setting Maria de Fleury's
poems to music.
And it was made by the Luscombe Company
in Boston.
And it's the polar opposite
of my banjo.
My banjo has a wooden pot,
and it has a metal tone ring up against the head,
a rolled brass tone ring.
And this has a metal pot,
and it actually has a cherry wood tone
ring
up against the head.
so it's going to sound a whole lot different.
you heard it on the Robin and
the Banjo
but it's a it's a whole other kind of thing.
The thing I like about it
is that you can bake in it and you have a pie
and then you can just eat
that
and then go back to
playing banjo which is good.
It's a convenience kind
of lunchbox instrument
so that's good.
Well we only have time
for one more song
y 'all the time has flown
and we sure will miss you
till the next time we see you.
sometimes people will ask us you know how do we come to
play the music that we do
or how do we come to be musical at all
and see Billy's mom
she played classical bass
she was only about four foot eight
and her instrument was this high
but his dad if I'm real lucky when
I call him
I might get something special
on the other end of the phone
and Billy will be his dad for you.
Am I speaking to the most beautiful
girl in the world?
That's what he really says that it's nice.
G
And then he'll sing to Jenny, he'll go,

D
everybody loves somebody,
sometimes.
He really does that, which is great,
because Bill Jr. used to sing Sinatra
and Dean Martin
in like lounge bands and restaurants all
over Baltimore,
which is pretty neat.
So, well that was Billy's musical heritage,
but mine was a little different
since my parents
were sort of flower children
and we listen to Pete Seeger's Waste
Deep in the Big Muddy
and we listen to Joni Mitchell
and Bob Dylan's Blowing in the
Wind
and learned all the words to those
and sometimes some
records would slip in there
that my mom wasn't too keen on
because like she asked me for instance
what would I like to drink
when I was about seven
and I said Jose Cuervo
you are a friend of mine
I like to drink you with a little salt and lime
did I kiss all the Cowboys
did I shoot out the lights
did I dance on the bar
did I have any fights
and my mom said Greg
Because that's just that
Shelly West looks so pretty
on the cover of that record
I just put it on you know and and I led
myself and my dad
into some trouble there
But um so we got back out to Sesame Street,
and I had to wait a bit longer
for the rest of the Shelly West record
but um that's uh
Now, my musical heritage
and the thing that my dad loved
more than anything was hobo songs.
So I thought since I had the power to write a song,
all of a sudden being a songwriter and all,
I would write him one.
So this is the song that I wrote for my dad
and it's called, If I Ever Get Ten Dollars.
