I am almost embarrassed to post this but at heart I'm a narcissistic and I think the exposure could really help my career. My rendering of a Happy Birthday songs via banjo started last fall when I made up my own Birthday song for my friend Jonathan. This time I was feeling much less creative and just borrowed a Beatles tune, and Maggie and I co-wrote the lyrics. I am grateful to Amy and Kara who were such good sports to go along with my crazy musician wannabe notions.
Seeing and hearing myself play I realize how out of tune I sound and that I have very mechanical strumming patterns, something my banjo teacher was always trying to correct. Anywho, enjoy this attempt to make a Beatles classic into a birthday sensation. For all my faithful followers I hope to be releasing a single some time this year:)
Special Thanks to Elizabeth Downie for her camera work.

I'm just glad I got to experience that live...because of the high level of skill of banjo/harmonica/tambourine playing of course...In fact, I was at the other birthday you played at too. When are you going to start selling T-shirts and such at your concerts?
Rowan loved getting jiggy to it.
I am proud of how well you play the banjo, and the fact that you take out in public with all that graffiti Adam tainted it with.

Watch out Paul McCartney.
