    Makes me miss my home of New Appalachia, another three months on this laser rig in the outer belt mining carbon, hard work but Titan needs its Graphite, and they pay better than the living I make off the Hogs since the blight hit the Martian Chestnut. I tear-up just thinking about my great-grandpappy, he first seeded those hills during the terraform. Now the hills are dying!

    Reminds me of playing guitar and banjo with my grandpappy, in the middle of literally nowhere in the high plains of Kansas in the late 40's, I was 8 yrs old. I'm now 83 and still living in that ole cabin on 64 acres, and still playing my banjo for my great grandkids.

      Your great grandkids will carry your banjo melodies with them for the rest of their lives. Somehow the banjo just sticks in kid's brains. My favorite audiences to play for have always been kids. And I've had more people than I can count tell me about their grandad's playing for them as kids back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc.

    The stars stretched out before me as I leaned back in the worn captain's chair of the Razerleaf, my father's old spaceship. The soft strumming of a banjo filled the cabin, a famous space western tune from TiMBR ZEAL that had become the soundtrack to my solitary patrols. My father, a retired famous bounty hunter, had left me this ship and a legacy of justice, and I intended to uphold it.
    The Razerleaf hummed contentedly as it glided through the vast expanse of space, its sleek frame cutting through the darkness. I took a sip of my lukewarm coffee and let the music wash over me. It was moments like these when I could almost forget the harsh reality of my job as a lone Freestar Rangers deputy.
    But then, a harsh blip interrupted my moment of tranquility. My eyes shot open, and I instinctively reached for the controls. A distress signal flashed on the screen, emanating from a civilian ship. The signal's origin was clear - it was coming from the edge of the Narion System, a notorious hotspot for Crimson Fleet space pirates.
    I clenched my jaw and tightened my grip on the controls. Duty called, and I was ready to answer. The banjo music still played softly in the background, a stark contrast to the impending danger that awaited me. I tune on the comforting tune, followed by the low hum of the ship's engines as I engaged full throttle....

    This!!! Yes! I've been slowly building a Spotify playlist of dark bluegrass and spooky blues. It has to evoke a very particular feeling, so additions are hard to come by, and I'm always on the lookout for songs to add. UA-cam served this up for me, and when I read "Haunting Space Banjo" I had hope but didn't actually expect; after all, when I read about "blackgrass" I thought perhaps I'd found my people, but actually listening to it proved to be a dead end. This, however - the first few notes rolled out, flooding my brain with dopamine, and I knew this was on my wavelength. I'm moving to Appalachia soon and this will fill that cabin in the mountains perfectly. Thank you!!!

You are an inspiration and a true artist I mean just amazed me thank you ever so much for putting this together and just almost in tears how much absorbed into this music and where it takes me back long ago.
