Subject: RE: Exorcisms for banjos: How to do it?
In the past here in Kentucky they would first hold an inquiry into the problem. Then, wearing a cone-shaped hat with demons painted on it, the banjo was taken around the county in an open cart. Finally, it was taken to a place in the center of county seat where, in a ceremony of great beauty and religious significance, it was burnt at the stake.
