Thread Name: Your chosen instrument: Why?
Subject: RE: Your chosen instrument: Why?
Guitar and banjo - because a school teacher (Christian?? Brother) gave me a school report which said "Musically speaking this pupil is dead from the neck up" and suggested that the banjo, being the "Instrument of Satan" was all I would ever get to play -. The guitar came a couple of years later as I wanted to improve my musically dead brain. I have since managed, despite all this to have a reasonably successful part time career in various bands and still despite advancing years manage to perform lots of songs & tunes in local folk clubs. So - brother **** stick that in your pipe (he always smoked one) etc
