Chris Said: "You shouldn't be so hard on banjos Ed." Chris- Being hard on Banjos is a deep tradition within the bluegrass community and specially among musicians. See for example the website Steve Kaufman set up for all things "Flatpickin on Guitar". (http://www.firebottle.com/flatpik/) On the left side is a set of links. I think it is the one next to the bottom. Yep. Banjo jokes.
"What is the difference between a lawn mower and a banjo? You CAN tune a lawn mower!" "Why do some people hate banjo players right away. Saves time." "What do you say to a banjo player whose wearing a suit and tie? Will the defendant please rise." Also note they are not PC (I know, the average banjo player is a male, tee, hee!). There are about 1000 of them, many attributed to professional bluegrass and country musicians. Of course, you are also correct that many of these are also used for bag-pipes, guitar, etc. :) All in good fun. Now - Back to the Beer lesson. Oh, yeah. This relates to psychology how? Maybe gentle forms of aggression through humour? Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

You shouldn't be so hard on banjos Ed. Consider acordians and bagpipes! :-) Chris (who stopped toturing people with his trumpet decades ago) -- Christopher D.
