I know lots of musician jokes, not just banjo player jokes. The one someone posted about the bluegrass stage being level is one I know as:

How do you know the drum riser is level?
The drummer drools out of both sides of his mouth.

I tell people I'm not a musician myself, I'm a guitar player. I can play well enough to accompany my singing & sing just well enough to disguise some of the deficiencies in my guitar playing.

How do you get a guitar player to shut up?
Ask him to play from sheet music.

I had a friend who played banjo. Came to our Tuesday night sessions at the coffee house. He said he'd got to play with Pete Seeger back in his college days.

He passed away in April. Not Covid19. He had a real bad stroke back in February but the Covid19 came along and we never got to visit him or go to his funeral.

from his 1956 album Off-beat Folk songs..
