Earl Scruggs & all the great banjo players in 1971 – Foggy Mountain BreakdownAn evening pause: I posted a more recent version in 2015 when Scruggs was much older. This version is exhilarating because of the number of great players involved.
Hat tip Able Windsor.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Good deal!
That, me son, is the business. I trust the fire department was just out of frame.
Years ago Roy Clark performed Foggy Mountain Breakdown for his Live at the Landmark concert album. Introducing the tune he informed the audience:
“This is a banjo. It is the only instrument invented in America.. And you’re about to witness why this is the only country that had enough nerve!”
Earl and friends here emphatically confirm that assertion. : )

Great stuff. I am still working on “walking the baseline”

Collective noun: Collective nouns are names for a collection or a number of people or things. Words like group, herd, and array are collective noun examples.
Some are interesting. (A murder of crows), others mundane (a herd of cows).
I went looking for the collective noun for Banjos. There were several ideas, a pluck, a thrim, a bingo..
However, ” a scrugg of banjos” suggestion seems to be the best I saw.
