Maybe DU needs a little banjo music

You can't be sad or upset when you are listening to a banjo. It might have saved Jimmy Carter.

2. My favorite purloined clip of all time

is "Stairway to Heaven" played on banjo and tuba.

You're right, it's impossible to be depressed listening to that thing.

Thank you, April Winchell.
