My daughter played in a youth orchestra. She tells me it was always the viola players who came in for stick. Seems we gotta have someone to pick on and Banjo players are big enough to take it!

They (mostly) don't sulk and their music just gets up and shakes off any bad feelings. Forget the valium - if you want cheering up, listen to the banjo for half an hour,(more jokes on the way I expect). It's the only instrument guaranteed to lift my spirits.
