Thread Name: A fantastic use for banjos
Subject: RE: A fantastic use for banjos
At our session we have legal limits on several instruments -- including fiddles, banjos and bodhrans. Not concertinas, though!

I've got a newspaper clipping (alas, undated) where TWO (count 'em, two) banjos were used by a fellow to murder his wife. As the sheriff was quoted, "I've never seen anything like it."

If anyone has the date and publication of this article, I'd really appreciate it -- I've even forgotten who gave me the photocopy.
