Another time there was an old irish chap enjoying a session ,and he listened carfully to the tenor banjo and when the tune ended he turned to the player and asked did you not like that tune? Yes why ? Was the reply from the banjo player. You seemed in an awful hurry to get through it thats all! Was the reply from the old man. Another true story from my mate. |

03 Oct 03 - 05:38 AM (#1028640) Subject: RE: banjo jokes From: GUEST,banjoman All banjo jokes should be reassigned to melodeons but here's one anyway: Melodeon player working on building site stops for lunch. Opens lunch box and shouts " Not ham sandwiches again - if I get ham sandwiches again I'll kill myself" Next day - lunch time - opens box - ham sandwiches - throws himself under the nearest bus and is killed. Some days later at funeral - wife says to mourners " I really can't understand why he did it - he always makes his own sandwiches" Longer version also available. |

04 Oct 03 - 06:51 AM (#1029467) Subject: RE: banjo jokes From: Tam the Bam (Nutter) I'm a bodhran player and a guitar player And I'm now looking to buy a Banjo oh I have an Accordion as well. So when people start to make jokes about Banjo/Bodhran/Accordion players and then they ask if any are in, I can put my hand up to all three, and that will really screw them up(Hopefully). Luckly I don't play the Accordion in Public because I'm shit at playing the Accordion, however I'm no bad at the Bordhran or the Guitar, I don't do the finger picking becasue I can't really do it.

06 Oct 03 - 01:32 PM (#1030657) Subject: RE: banjo jokes From: GUEST,Len Wallace Okay, okay, I can't resist. From an accordion player ( and I HAVE heard all the accordion jokes . . . and i also Love them). The WORST and MEANEST banjo joke in the world: How many banjo players does it take to eat a possum? Two. One to eat the possum and one to look for the headlights coming down the road. Why do banjo players put their banjos on the dashboard of their cars? In order to park in the handicapped parking spots. a banjo/accordion joke: When you go into a parking lot how can you tell which car is owned by a professional banjo/accordion player? It's the one with the Dominoes Pizza box on the aerial. Len Wallace |
