Taking requests

This morning at the farmer's market, there was a banjo player picking and strumming while people picked out the last of the peonies, sweet snap peas and fistfuls of asparagus.

The banjo player was taking requests, but he underestimated his audience. When he asked what Christopher wanted to hear, he replied with, "Stevie Wonder." (By which, he means his favorite song "Sir Duke.") The banjo player kind of did a double take and commented, "you have very adult taste in music."

Christopher had to settle for a pretty mediocre rendition of I've Been Working on the Railroad. That's okay, though. I think the guy would have had a hard time with the opening horn riff on that little banjo...
