Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | Good stuff Tim. I started on 5 string banjo before I started learning guitar. My father gave me his Gibson RB banjo he got in 1962. I owe alot of my guitar playing stlye to the banjo. I use to practice rolls over and over for hours. I really enjoy playing 5 string banjo. |

Location: Central Oregon | Perfect timing! I just quit going to jams in the next town over because of an asshole banjo player. One of the reasons I quit going to the 'acoustic only' jams in Bend was because of that noisey banjo banging bastard.
This jam is *specifically* advertised as 'acoustic AND/OR electric'. I *TRIPLE* checked with the people running it before my guitar pickin' partner & I took small amps over there two weeks ago. However, every time anybody plugs in a guitar (& last Monday night a guy playing a mouthharp running through a small amp as well) that snaggletooth son of a bitch pisses & moans so much nobody can enjoy themselves. The harp player was sounding pretty damned good, but that asshole bitched & embarrassed him so much he packed up his stuff & left.
I went over there twice, but that's it for me.
Him & I were rapidly approaching the 'Take that drum on a stick & shove it up your ass' stage Monday night when our host intervened.
Screw it, kicking that dickheads ass isn't worth losing my concealed carry permit over.
I will C&P Tim's post & email it to the guy that hosts the jam. I already sent him an email explaining why I won't be back.
GOOD POST TIM! :)

The secret project in Connecticut to develop a roundback banjo has just been dealt a death blow by this irresposible post. I guess that means my bluegrass consultant's contract is over, and just when we finally got the damned thing to sound like a trash can rolling down a cobblestone boat ramp with no possible musical overtones after 3 years of R & D. I wish you guys would check out what's happening before you make bad jokes at the expense of toothless hillbillies.

Location: Yucaipa, California | ...played my banjo at the Church last night... after the meeting, several people furtively came up to me and admitted (with side glances) that they really enjoy the banjo.. then they hung their heads and slinked (slunked?) away before the Pastor saw them... :rolleyes:
Come out of the closet! It's ok! :D

Bailey - "sound like a trash can rolling down a cobblestone boat ramp"

on a cobblestone boat ramp
rolling timbre awash
