Description
My grandfather's banjo. My grandfather went to the coal mines at a very young age and spent his life there. When he finally retired, he moved to a tiny settlement high in the mountains. That little 'town' had only 13 year-round residents but served as a hunting and fishing camp for those looking to escape their work-a-day lives. He spent his days tending his garden, fishing in the trout stream that ran behind his house and roaming his beloved hills. As he aged and was unable to wander, you would find him on the sittin' porch in the summer strumming his banjo and passing the time of day with anyone who stopped. He has been gone many years now but I still think of hime often.
