Twitter is a web-based service that allows users 140 characters to answer the question, "What are you doing?" Think of it as a blog for the the attention-deficited. One user, 140Story, uses it to create 140 character works of fiction. Here's one festivarians might like:

Banjo's are born in love and stay in love. Bright, content, seen as simple, but complex and never mopey. Rowdy for sure but never a fighter.

about the banjo player called ned
who had a girfriend named zed
she cut all the strings, now the banjo can't sing
so he threw it in the ocean instead.

 Cheers

Well, there once was a man from Nantucket
Made a banjer from a broomstick and bucket
Well, his banjer got broken,
Cuz he dropped it while toke'n
So out the winder he up'ed and he chucked it.

Ol' Clem found a banjer on the shore
he could buy some new strings at the store
and play claw hammer all day
up north in Cape Cod Bay
While ol' Ned gets to be with zed, the Bore!

Them banjo pickers, mighty fine ways,
same damn song, three or four days.

Them banjo pickers, all they know,
Cumberland gap, Do-si-do.

Them banjpo pickers, talking bout strings,
banjo pegs, other such things,

Them banjo pickers, poker face mugs,
never do smile, just play Scruggs.

Them banjo pickers, never get sick,
pickin them banjos, pick, pick, pick.

If a banjo player picks in the woods, and no one is there to hear him.... is he still making an awful lot of noise?

Maybe I'm only beaming on the inside when I play Cheers

Truth is, a lot of times my brain just shuts down when I'm playing and I don't really think of much of anything. Its a kind of trance state for me, very meditative really.

I'd say like most things in life there are happy moments mixed with sad ones and some that can't be classified as either
