Musically the way into my heart is a banjo

The banjo has been adding some musical spice to my listening taste. Here and there I catch fragments of it in really great songs, of which I will mention a few which you should source for a listen yourself: The Shins - Australia, Feist - One Two Three Four, and basically anything by the Great Lake Swimmers.

Laugh at the insturment if you will, proclaim it redneck or hokey and only acceptable in regards to the move “Deliverence”, but it has some amount of charm and musical merit.

Perhaps that is a metaphor for real female affections - finding the beauty in the weirdest of places?
