I Need a Banjo

I wanna learn to play the banjo. But I can’t afford a banjo. So I need a banjo. Somebody send me a banjo.

You could always make a banjo.

Euty’s gone all Deliverence on us!! :eek:

It’s all that Southern influence! :wink:

hmmmm Euty’s gonna make us squeal like pigs!!! :eek:

Ok, maybe this should go in the Things I firmly believe about posters I’ve never met thread. But Euty, I always imagined you playing the banjo.

i actually have a banjo propped up against the wall in the living room. I found it in my grandparent’s basement when they were moving out and have kept it around ever since. I can’t really play it. It has a kick-ass faux alligator case.

Better give him the banjo, girl. He can find out where you live.

Pssst…Euty, old pal, you do NOT want a banjo. Banjos are more trouble than they’re worth. I got me a five-string banjo when I was seventeen, and I’ve regretted it ever since. Two serious hours with a banjo, serious finger-bleeding hours, and you can convince yourself that you’re the greatest guitarist since Django. ANYTHING but the fucking banjo.

Look here…I can get you behind a nice used bass clarinet. Whaddaya say? You can stand in front of the mirror and pretend you’re Eric Dolphy.

i wouldn’t be totally opposed to giving away the banjo… as long as i can keep the case :slight_smile: sure, it’s a little weird to give something away to a complete stranger, but… i lose more things that way :wink:

I hear there’s this punk-ass from Alabama with one on his knee, for some inexplicable reason. Contrary to what he may think, though, ain’t nobody cryin’ for him. I suggest you find him and rob him.

There are many cheaper, but few more effective male contraceptives than a banjo.

Oh.

That explains it.

Let’s get into the spirit of equal opportunity! I’m sure a woman could drive off suitors with equal ability were she to pick up a banjo.

You gonna pick it or beat it?

I have a 5-string I might be willing to let go cheap. Email me Euty.

I always wanted to learn to play the banjo… sadly, old age has robbed my fingers of their limberitude… another career path denied.

<silent weeping and soulful sighs>

I always wondered: is it possible to play a sad song on the banjo? Every song I’ve ever heard with banjo in it has been happy or at least lively.

And by the way, the musical instrument least likely to get you laid is obviously the accordion, Wierd Al notwithstanding.

You need a WHAT?!?!?!

(Said only SLIGHTLY fascetiously :frowning: )
So, you want to end ALL hope for reconcilliation between you and your wife?

What were we talking about again?

Oh yeah, banjos. Count me in among the guys who always wanted to try a banjo. Although I think I’d lean towards the Béla Fleck style than the “Now let’s you just drop them pants.” style.
