As far as I'm concerned, if you wish to join the music making, learn to play a real instrument.
Midchuck, I thought that was very funny. I play the banjo, but I also get a kick out of all those banjo jokes.

Whenever I hear someone rattling bones or spoons, or even a bodhran by someone who has no sense of timing, I think of that old saying, "Mediocrity knows nothing higher than its self."
