When we were in Tennessee a few weeks ago, we came across this guy playing his banjo on a park bench. I could see he was an interesting subject so we stopped and listened to him play. We were his only audience at the time and we were able to strike up a conversation with him. He had a long history of living in the Tennessee Mountains and the town he lives in was named after his family who settled in the area as pioneers. He gave us a history lesson about the area and told us how he had built this banjo from a tree he had cut down years ago. He would play awhile, stop and then tell a joke. He had my wife singing along with him and it gave me the opportunity to capture him while playing and singing a song. We always treasure the people we meet along the trail in our travels. They will always stay part of the memories we have of our trips.
