My Banjitar, Conrad and Fender Banjos, and my accoustic Ibanez guitar are a few of my most loved instruments.

The instruments I play and love.
August 12, 2010 Thursday.
Joann and Becky are sleeping. It is almost 4:00 A.M. It has been hot in our home. I woke up from bed earlier because I could not sleep in hot weather. Our air conditioners do not seem to be doing as well as they should.
The music of my banjitar breaks the silence in our office bed room. It is a wonderful shorter instrument that looks like a banjo , but has six strings like a guitar.
I washed the dishes, and I swept the floor after passing a mop over it while Joann went to sleep. And then I sat down to play my guitar.
Becky wanted to go to bed early. She said her legs were hurting. We took her out of her wheelchair and put her in the bed room.
Becky likes to hear the music of the instruments so sometimes I play them for her whenever possible. Sometimes when she is in the mood, I will place her keyboard near her so that she can enjoy it, to play various notes.
I took the banjitar out of the closet. It has a unique sound, but I really need to know what kind of strings I should use on it. It sounds like a banjo, but it is tuned like the guitar. I do not play it as well as I should.
I paid nearly three hundred dollars for it, but personally I love the sound of my Conrad banjo a bit more. The Conrad is a an old banjo that I found for only one hundred dollars in a pawn shop years ago . I am sure it is worth much more than I paid for it, but I love it to much to sell it.
One of my beautiful banjos is a chrome plated Fender. It is valuable. It was my second banjo. My first banjo was a Lotus, and I played it a lot. I still have the Lotus. It is somewhere put away in a nice case in a safe closet.
I haveand Ibanez acoustic guitar, I can not say enough about it. I use it to play a song I made. It will be a great song when it is finished. I don't want just any kind of words in it. It is my top secret song, and I can't wait to fill in all the words. I still need to add more lyrics to it.
I need to buy a case for the banjitar. It is always a better idea to keep instruments protected .
Someday I would like to play my harmonicas with my guitars just like the professionals. I am not a singer. I probably could sing a few songs, but my voice is tired.
May Your Skies Be Blue, And God Bless You.

I wish it was hot here.
Oh my friend, the blues will get you down only if you let them, that is something that took me a long time to understand. But earth time is to short to worry all the time. I have out of work for close to 2 months because of my bad back, believe me, its been hard to stay up because its just easier to stay down.
have a great night my friend :)
