"Banjolele" is a trade name - just like the difference between a Hoover and a vacuum cleaner. Banjoleles were produced by the Alvin D Keech company and all the rest are banjo-ukuleles. There endeth this morning's trivia! Ray |

If London Underground can license a saxaphone-playing Henry the Hoover with his human guitar-playing accompaniment then they can allow a Banjolele or banjo-ukulele for that matter. (By the way, I swear that that Hoover isn't playing live...) |
