Thread Name: Who needs a drummer?
Subject: RE: Who needs a drummer?
'Perhaps that collection of folkie instruments we all know and love, the melodeon, banjo, guitar, bodhran, fiddle, piano accordion and so on come together because other instruments and their owners wont play with them.'

No. Those instruments are ridiculed because they originated with people who didn't have a lot of money. That's all there is to it.

If somebody says 'Steinway' or 'Stradivarius,' people kowtow, because these instruments represent Big Money.

Meself, thanks for the link to the delightful video. I'm going to send it to my little nephew who wants to be a farmer when he grows up.

But wait a minute - if I send him the link, will the same ads that look like soft porn appear on the page? His mother and father won't thank me if that happens.
