Banjo versus TV week 70: Cantata Blaues Gras

A check-in on the Banjo versus TV project — J.R.'s ongoing plan to spend more time on his banjo than on TV. This post covers 6/28/2009 through 7/4/2009.
Banjo 431 hrs, TV 404 hours

At the "Twilight Zone" session at Midwest Banjo Camp I heard Bill Keith describe his participation in P.D.Q. Bach: Black Forest Bluegrass. It sounds like a hoot. So, despite the facts that...
   ...the CD does not include the English translation of Cantata Blaues Gras ("Bluegrass Cantata") ...
   ...I don't speak German (which is supposed to be essential)...
   ...and Dave feels he doesn't like it as much as he should (and he's a big P.D.Q. Bach fan!)...
...I ordered a copy. Wünschen mir Glück!
