Subject: RE: Banjo - why so many jokes? From: GUEST,Jerry Date: 30 Jan 18 - 06:59 PM I think it’s not just jealousy over volume, because some guitarists like to belittle Banjos because they don’t like to accept that they are actually harder to play. Anyone who has tried playing bluegrass or melodic clawhammer on the five string, or for that matter jigs and reels or chord melody style on the tenor banjo, will know that it requires greater musical knowledge and prowess than is required to strum cowboy guitar chords. Stop me when this starts to sound elitist.... |

Subject: RE: Banjo - why so many jokes? From: Acorn4 Date: 01 Feb 18 - 05:32 PM I think the best banjo joke I've come across was actually a post on facebook:- a father taking to his son:- "Now remember, son, a law degree is no guarantee of a good job so keep practicing your banjo". Play banjo myself but still appreciate the humour in this. |
