Location: 6 String Ranch | The difference between an onion and a banjo is that nobody cries when you cut up a banjo.
perfect pitch is when you toss the banjo into the dumpsted and don't hit the sides.
There's a dead skunk and a banjo in the road and both have been run over. There are skid marks in front of the skunk.
Cliff, from my aviation days I'd say that 2 gallons of 100 octane would also make the banjo nice and crisp. |

Location: Yucaipa, California | But I play a 6-STRING Banjo! .... am I still doomed? :( :eek:
My finger style is evidently rather banjoesque: I was playing at a Convalescent Home last Saturday and the 12-year old son of the Bass Player said "Wow, that sounds like a banjo!"... I wasn't sure if I should hug him or just hit him in the mouth! I was playing my S771 at the time! :rolleyes: |

True Bill, but it'd be kind of a "dry" flash-crisp . .
Lighter fluid (or in a pinch, a good quality kerosene) takes a little LONGER, but when it finally crisps, it gives it that nice, brown caramelization (especially around the frets).
Lighter fluid is ESSENTIAL in a recipe for say, . . oh, I don't know . . . "Banjo ala Hendrix". |

I heard about a banjo picking contest where first place was new banjo!
Second place was two new banjos and third place was...
Why is the song called Dueling Banjos when it it is a guitar and a banjo playing it? |
