I have a bluegrass book with a photo of three musicians doing 'the octopus'. That is all playing there own and anothers instrument (if you can work that out!) I'll try and explain - a fiddler plays the left hand of his fiddle and the right hand (picking) of his pals banjo. The banjo player plays the left hand on the banjo and the right hand of his mates guitar. The guitarist stands behind them playing the right hand of his guitar and bowing the fiddle that is tucked under the banjo players chin. Follow that?? I think the Dubliners did this as well with a whistle stuffed into someones beak as well!

Colin at which school of excellence would you learn this??
