Haunted banjo challenge
-
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
Somehow in the Tuesday music club zoom chat last night, a number of people were talking about a 'haunted banjo challenge' and I see someone did it while we were talking (@yam655 for the win with https://fawm.org/songs/129446/ )
I did my own, silly little thing, and here it is

anyone else? :) silly and fun... -

Banjo is a go-to for me for storytelling songs, so I can see doing this one.
I was surprised to have somebody comment on an earlier song that they'd never heard a banjo playing in a minor key! I guess Scruggs rolls in G major is all most folks think of for a banjo. -
@chipwithrow Feb 2022
I can't wait to try this! Probably minor-key. Or maybe major key with scary lyrics? Hell, maybe I'll do both. I'm inspired!
Many years ago, a friend and I really wanted to start a band called Tragic Banjo Accident. -
@zecoop Feb 2022
Wait... aren't ALL banjos haunted?
-
@tuneslayer Feb 2022
LOL @zecoop
@elesimo Nothing stopping banjos, or ukuleles for that matter, from playing in any key a guitar can play. How often it happens is another matter. -
@fearlessflight2014 Feb 2022
Hey @tan482 here’s a challenge for you!!
-
@wylddandelyon Feb 2022
Huh. I don't have a banjo. Maybe I could do a haunted cittern song.
-
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
I would like to join but I know what haunted banjo means
-
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
Don’t know
-
@elesimo Feb 2022
@mardeycranbleson just write a song about a haunted banjo: a stringed instrument that has been possessed by a supernatural entity.
-
@tan482 Feb 2022
Oooh YES, I’m in!
Thank you @fearlessflight2014 xo -
@max Feb 2022
Just came up with the title: The Haunted Banjo Head. The only thing left is to write the song, find my Banjo (where did I leave it?) and record it. :-) I'm in.

@mardeycranbleson My "Haunted Banjo" song is acapella, because the said banjo is out and about somewhere playing songs for people.
I figured if any instrument actually could wander off, it would likely be a haunted one.
Or maybe you "know a banjo player with a haunted banjo" and sing us that tale.
In this way anyone -- whether or not they own a banjo -- can write a haunted banjo song. -
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
Ok I’ll get involved with a haunted banjo vst
-
@chipwithrow Feb 2022
Here's the first of two I wrote:

@chipwithrow Feb 2022
And another one:

I could write a whole album of these ... but I promise I won't! -
@scubed Feb 2022
My banjo is calling me - gotta write one of these!
-
@scubed Feb 2022
My haunted banjo song took an unexpected turn.

I would never had written that song if y’all hadn’t started this wonderful, silly challenge. Thank you!! -

I found a key to let myself in. -
@darcistrutt Feb 2022
An instrumental. From me. I figured 30 seconds was about enough for my haunting.

Well dang, what a fun prompt! I'm a little late to the party but here's mine,

@hamiltonpoolhall Feb 2022
A fabulous prompt, and one I had a lot of fun working on. I combined this with the 100 second challenge and prompt from the Muse:

I'll give this one a try too!

@lmr Feb 2022
Here's my instrumental banjo tune which I think may be haunted...

@thomasfred Feb 2022
Here's a tune that took two banjos to come to life. Played on my 5 string tack-head fretless banjo tuned dGDGA.
