    That's a really nice album track. That album also includes one of my favorite Rupert Holmes tracks called "Let's Get Crazy Tonight."

    He knows all that. The main problem is that if we list all classical music that features the word piano or violin we'll be here for ever.

    I'll start:
    Steve Reich Four Organs
    Henry Cowell Piece For Piano
    Morton Feldman Piano Piece
    Terry Riley Keyboard Study #2

    I'm bored already.

    Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard - Banjo Picking Girl

    A traditional from their 1976 Rounder album "Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard".
    The song was recorded by numerous bluegrass artists, among them the Coon Creek Girls, Gloria Belle, Stringbean, Cathy Fink, The Stairwell Sisters, and Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet, but nobody can surpass Hazel Dickens' and Alice Gerrard's version.

    "I'm goin' around this world baby mine
    Goin' around this world baby mine
    Goin' around this world, I'm a banjo pickin' girl
    I'm goin' around this world baby mine"

    Greg Brown - Banjo Moon

    Bonus track from the CD release of "One Night".
    "One Night" (documenting a 1982 concert of Greg Brown in Minneapolis/Minnesota) had originally been released on Coffeehouse Extemporé Records ‎in 1982.
    A CD re-release issued on Red House Records in 1999 contained "Banjo Moon" as one of the bonus tracks not included on the original LP release.

    "Oh, and I
    I don't know
    Everywhere I go
    Sorrow is as thin as an electric mandolin
    And the moon is as round as a banjo"
