Dread,

Great pic.

What's the definition of perfect pitch? The ability to throw a banjo down a mine shaft without hitting the sides.

A guy with a banjo in his car forgot to lock the doors. When he came back, he saw a window broken open. When he looked inside, he saw that somebody had thrown in a second banjo.

It appears to me that all those banjos in the Sacramento band are 4-stringers, i.e., "strumming" banjos. And a tuba - what a hoot!

Certainly those bad banjo jokes must not be about 5-string bluegrass banjos :mrgreen:

What's the difference between a small block Chevy engine and a banjo? You can tune a small block Chevy engine.

How can you tell when the stage is level? The banjo player is drooling equally out of both sides of his mouth.

You guys are tough! One of my goals is to join the Sacramento Banjo Band once I get a bit better on my tenor banjo.

I thought it was when you toss an accordion into a dumpster, and it lands on a banjo. :lol:

TJ,

I started playing 4-string banjo in 1960. In the same year, the Sack o' tomato Banjo Band formed to prevent the degradation of the 4-string banjo. In fact, the guy who started it, Dick Suryhine (sp?) was running the competition at a local hootenanny, so each group had to do a demo tape for the judges to listen to later. When he was recording us, he just cut us off after a few bars and asked us to leave.

Now you tell me! I'm gonna have to practice an extra 10 minutes a day for an extra year and maybe, just maybe, get new strings

Hat, are you sure that isn't the Sacreligious Banjo Band? :lol:

Then there's this one, tj:

Note: Even these are 4-string banjos

Do any of you geezers remember a vocal group called The Harry Simeone Chorale? Well they added a banjo player and changed their name to The Hairy Simian Corral.

Hairy funny, Herr Hat....
You're a very hirsute punster, aren't you?

That's the only kind of pun where I can top Coastie.
