Banjo Night Will Change Your Life



So. Every Wed night on the northside in Pittsburgh the Banjo Club has a practice at the Elks Lodge which is open to the public. So. The place is mostly packed with very senior citizens but 2 or 3 tables are filled with enthusiastic hipsters flirting, enjoying the cheap pitchers of beer and exchanging trendy business cards.

So unlikely, so wonderful. They play old war time favorites, classics recalled by the band as sung by a 19 year old Doris Day (I didn't realize she used to be 19, never crossed my mind.)

I will be returning to Banjo Night. It's my new favorite place.

Seriously though. Grandma would love it. It's like her life - hangout out with strange hipsters in funny clothes (us).
