    This makes me feel like stopping at the new place they put up on Ganymede. They got the best chicken fried steak I've had since my mammy used to make it for me. Think I'll stop by on my trip back into the inner solar system, pick up some duterium for my rigs fusion reactor while I'm around Jupiter and truck right through to Venus from there. Been hauling Helium-3 from Proxima Centauri for 20 chronological years as an owner operator. Hoping by the time I can retire I can afford settle down somewhere in rural Mars and spend my last days learning banjo, if theres any rural Mars left by then. Always wanted to learn but I never had the time. Keepin the spirit of ancient appalachia alive.

      I turned a Japanese garden into a dirt bike course in a rural town and nobody's called the cops on me yet for ripping up the main road. My town is better than your town. Also; rural Mars is over rated. Ain't nobody gett'n laid On Mars...can you imagine bringing what a woman needs to exist these day to another planet? I don't think there's enough rocket fuel to even carry her night time routine. Only way she's going anywhere is if she's a good kisser...or it's a complicated good bye.

    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!

      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.

You are truly a phenomenal artist putting this together in taking people back way back to long time ago with your grandpappy's and and all and just you captured the essence the true essence of what this stuff was written about back then and family in true values that we are missing today. 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.

Did Virtue Station to the Saggitaurius Arm Colonies a fair few times, still doesn't beat when I got marooned orbiting Deimos with a busted stabilising thruster and a cracked coolant duct. Had to patch it up with some spare crap I had lying around in my rig's hull, before I did though, I just put out a distress beacon and kicked back with some old-timey banjo music I grew up listening to with my pop on New Appalachia...

    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. RUclips 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!!!
