I'm hoping the series continues for a while, but we'll see. I do love clawhammer banjo (and tolerate that new-fangled Scruggs stuff). Oh hey, glad you’re liking it!

Seven lucky angels playing not on harps but on banjos. Makes me want to go to heaven, just about. Keep up the series- and let's talk 5-string sometime. I’m LOVING your banjo poetry- what a surprise!

I'm glad you liked it, because I have a feeling you've spent way more time with the book of Revelation than I ever have. Good call on that "their" -- the KJV's "themselves," borrowed in the last stanza, reinforces that identification of angel with instrument. Thanks for the positive feedback, Peter.

Your two middle stanzas are as pretty as pearl inlay. Wow. I love the references to the sea in the last four stanzas. The sea comes in dreamlike, as it does in Revelation. The seamen's aversion to Jonahs is fun. "Sound" pulls it together nicely. I like how I never get over the “Their” in the fifth line, so all applies to angels and banjos alike.
