[@LordBaileyDev]

Thank you so much Space Banjo for making this incredible work of art. I am a trucker and I love listening to your music. It helps when I am on them long hauls working from dawn till dusk. Let me tell you friend, OTR trucking will change you as a person. I tell my family all of the time that there is a real connection to the earth that you gain when you come out here. A new feeling, a new way of life, just man on his own crossing the nation surviving only by his skill, wits and determination to see tomorrow. I am Free.

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

That's awesome. I'm happy for you brother. I imagine long days like that give you time to find out what you're made of, and what's at your core. Connection to the earth is real for those who seek it, and you won't find it through drama or a screen. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.

[@LordBaileyDev]

@@SpaceBanjoMusic You find out pretty quickly that's for sure and with all of this time to think through your life you gain a real inner peace. Did you know there is a statue of liberty in PA that sits in a river between two mountains? It's stuff like that you discover which makes you go "Oh Wow!" and that happens quite a lot out here. I'm the first in my family to cross the Mississippi river, see the Rio Grande, Scale the mountains of West Virginia, See the sun set over Lake Ontario, wave to Amish folk in Wisconsin and see the corn fields of Oklahoma grow with that beautiful big blue sky in fresh Spring. Thank you for the kind words and I'll have your music going with the windows down while I chase the sun. Be at peace and stay safe. 👍 ~ Bull Frog

You should have a look at psychedelic/space rock cause there's four. If we're saying earthy orchestra is one of the predominant flavours that is, which I'd agree with.

[@BelenusValikonis]

As an eastern Kentucky hillbilly who loves space, I approve. If we ever get to interact with intelligent life from who-knows-where, they must know of the banjo. Hell, even playing the banjo alone on some desolate planet WAY over yonder where no one will ever likely visit again would be satisfying in its own way.

[@RashFeuer26]

The banjo is an instrument that perfectly conveys the feeling of being alone in an uncharted frontier, with its hidden dangers and hidden beauties. Perfectly represented by its "high and lonesome" sound, through which even cheerful music always has a feeling of bitter homesickness.

[@CMacK1294]

Some things tap into realities and truths of the human condition. And the truth is, to borrow a phrase, "Space is long and dark and empty, quite a ways 'tween friend and friend..." Frontier music has a certain sound to it, because it resonates with those feelings evoked by frontier living. It's part of why the 'space western' works so much as a style of fiction.

[@charlesbravo4224]

​@@CMacK1294as a kid I grew upon a reservation, 35 miles one way an 50 the other to the next town(35) and city(50). Working out away from everything, vast open flat lands to high mountain pines. Sometimes no one around for days or weeks at a time. This music hits home in a very painful an loving way

[@landlockedsailor2191]

Because it's not about when the music came from it's about what it's trying to convey. That, in this case is unknown. Back then it was the wild West. But as we advance we now look to the stars with that same feeling

[@BattleBound]

My vehicle is my ship. The roads are my space lanes. When out in the black, I like to play these tunes. When I'm all alone, and it's just me and the yoke. Gives a real "Firefly" feel. Find a crew. Find a job. Keep flying.

[@mick9011]

be seeing you space cowboy

[@XOChristianaNicole]

This is way better than the music in ‘Firefly.’ I always thought that music made it too campy/cheesy - it sounded like royalty free country/bluegrass music. I mean, I know it was a show meant not to be taken too seriously, and it was, certainly, a unique concept. However, honestly, I found that to be quite a frustrating part, of the show - the music. This woulda faired way better, for that show.

[@BattleBound]

@XOChristianaNicole I really like the album version of "Mal's Song", and I may catch hell for it but I still love "The Hero of Canton" lol. Otherwise, I agree, I think this sort of music would have worked better in a lot of the show. Alas. Glad to meet another browncoat. We may have fought for the losing side...still not convinced it was the wrong one.

[@JordKriger]

[@kudjo24]

Some things throughout history just match each other you know? Like banjos and the country side, blues guitars and the city, bagpipes and reeds for Ireland and Scotland coasts...but I never would've thought a banjo with some reverb could fit the complete emptiness of space so perfectly. If mankind ever does get past the Great Filter and does go to space colonization, it's the Wild West all over again, small people once again in a massive massive unexplored frontier.

It could be argued that the origin of this genre was the 1978 BBC Radio science fiction series The, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. The theme tune fused banjo and synth in a sci-fi space travel theme.

Space is like a sci fi wild west, the emptiness reflects the emptiness of the great plains in macro scale. So in a way, this isn't a juxtaposition of opposites at all. The Frontier is still the Frontier, no matter how much air there is or what your wagon runs on.

[@ahilker1]

This type of space cowboy stuff has always appealed to me and I can't really explain why. Thank you.

[@CommissarChaotic]
