From: skipy There was a lady on said show tonight with a banjo (not a good start) she said that her sons play, she does not, but she is involved in the folk world on the sing side. The show was from Chester, is she "one of us"? Skipy |

21 Sep 08 - 05:21 PM (#2446774) Subject: RE: BS: Antiques roadshow tonight mudcatter? From: Helen Folky bumper sticker: Warning! I have a banjo and I know how to use it! :-) Duckingi for cover - whilst admitting that I've heard some very good banjo playing and really enjoyed it. BTW the Antiques Roadshow is where people take their treasured items to be evaluated, both in the historic sense and the monetary sense. It isn't a treasures-for-sale show. I hope that reassures meself, as in the person who posted second, not "meself" as in me. Just to try to clarify, or am I just confusing meself and others. Helen |

From: GUEST,Shimrod I am very fond of good banjo playing - I don't understand this ridiculous prejudice against the instrument. I suspect that the banjophobes are really rock fans who don't really like folk music and wish that it was more like rock (their imaginations don't stretch any further). Did anyone notice that the banjo on the Antiques Roadshow didn't have any frets? |

22 Sep 08 - 05:54 AM (#2447102) Subject: RE: BS: Antiques roadshow tonight mudcatter? From: mouldy I will admit to wishing now and again that I could play one. Bill Sables bet a year ago that he could teach me - he still hasn't tried! The banjo last night was a late 19th century English (Newcastle Upon Tyne) 5 string, one of only a relatively few made, and it was sorta pretty, as banjos go.... (Bill's got a VERY sweet one, with flowers up the neck) Andrea |
