		<description><![CDATA[Is the banjo&#8217;s sound a pleasure genetically shared? My grown son, Zachary, told me again today how much he loves Sufjan Stevens&#8216; rooftop rendition of &#8220;Lakes of Canada.&#8221; Part of the appeal is more than the banjo, however.

		<description><![CDATA[When I say &#8220;album,&#8221; some young people look as if I&#8217;ve uttered a foreign word. Thus this headline touting the top 25 theme or concept albums caught my eye.
Cohesiveness in these works is lost in today&#8217;s random-shuffle world. My favorite (not that I&#8217;ve heard them all) is Sufjan Stevens&#8216; Illinoise. His &#8220;John Wayne Gacey, Jr.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News comes that my grown son, Zachary, is learning the banjo. I knew that like me he loves the instrument&#8217;s sound &#8212; singular and echoing and mournful. Not discordant but of the earth in the way the guitar and other stringed instruments are not. I didn&#8217;t know he harbored ambition to make music.
