I am into comedy type songs lately. The one I want to learn (and perform, if I can get through it without losing it in laughter) is by Adam Sandler. It's about Hanukkah. Some of the lyrics go . . . [something like] . . . "Here comes Hanukkah! Drink your gin and tonicca! Smoke your marijuannica!" My 14-year-old daughter played this song for me and we can't stop smiling . . .

Well-This probably isnt any better but I am intrigued by it and give this guy an "A" for originality--besides Im a big fan of street musicians, and unfortunately for everyone else Im addicted to banjo (sorry y'all)
Nicknamed “The BANJO NINJA” by fans, PHILLIP ROEBUCK is a bare-bones one-man band, conceived in the subways of New York City.
To accompany his $22, scrap-part banjo, Phillip made his first drum apparatus out of a suitcase and a luggage cart. Using this setup, both live in the Times Square Subway Station and in his apartment in Brooklyn, he made the album ONE-MAN BAND RECORDINGS, later released as INERTIA (Volume I), which comes across like a collection of modern-day field recordings. In 2002, Phillip revamped the setup into the current backpack-harness outfit, used on the albums INERTIA (Volume II), ONE-MAN BAND, and FEVER PITCH.
In 2003, the New York Press voted Phillip the city’s Best Subway Musician, and he has since recorded three albums and has been touring steadily.
(im expecting dmiller to reprove me for what this guy does to a banjo :)
