AND, I can actually PLAY the damn thing. So either cough up the 100 clams or SHUT UP about it. I know damn well that a lot of you guys also have banjos in your closets, but are just too afraid to admit it. Come on guys, time to get out of the closet and start pluckin on the ol' banjo. There is a huge Deliverence festival this summer and we're all going to be there, right? And Cliff - I'll have a special eye out fer you. Ya gots such a perdy face, ya know. | ||

He mixed all of the songs he knew into a medley of hit. Work'in on the Railroad, Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah and Popeye the Sailor Man. In the right hands they are a beautiful thing! Wall hung banjoes have been known to predict earthquakes. Moody - you may need this one! There's also the tack of "Well Honey, Do I buy another Banjo or just another Guitar?". | ||

Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee | OK ... I'll admit it. I learned to play the tenor banjo before I ever picked up a guitar. Dad must've thought the smaller neck was easier to get young hands around, and the chord fingerings less complex. Dad also played some Dixieland, so he'd pull out the "Licorice Stick" and we'd do Swannee River, Bill Bailey, Sidewalks of New York, Sweet Georgia Brown, etc. I was a pretty lame player but fortunately it was all C, G and F. Dad later told me he tuned the banjo down two steps because it was a bitch to play a clarinet in the key of C. | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 14842 Location: NJ | As much as I would HATE to admit it, I just heard a really pretty banjo song on the radio. Tony Furtado does a REALLY nice rendition of the Beatles' "I Will" on banjo with Allison Krause adding some vocals. Nice! One to check out there, Timster . . . . . | ||

I have the Version of "I Will" from the Alison Krauss/Union Station CD "Now That I've Found You" played on the banjo by Ron Block.... very nice song....way better that the Original Beatles' version IMHO | ||

Price is $100. I went to look at your bannedjoe but the link comes up as bad. FWIW, I've always thought the four strings were 'real' and those four and 3/4 string (ok, resonator five string...but that tuner sticking out of the neck reminds me of some kind of freakish, Frankenstein thing...scary, bad dreams follow) jobs as 'pretenders.' :) So, what's the story with the link? | ||
