Okay, let’s get the banjo jokes out of the way first:
Q: How do you tune a banjo?
A: Everybody yells the answer: “Who cares!”
Q: What’s perfect pitch?
A: Tossing a banjo into the toilet without hitting the rim!
Okay, enough already. Despite the fun to be had making fun of the banjo (don’t get me started on flute jokes) it’s a terrific instrument. It can be fun, mournful, cheerful, sad.
Love classical music? Check out Bela Fleck’s “Perpetual Motion” CD – gorgeous classical music on the banjo. Prefer your banjo a little more folky? Pete Seeger has anchored…
