They put the "jangly things" on it so that you can locate the severed head AFTER you've smacked it across the f%$#@%^g tree trunk! . . .

I was thinking that it needed the snares off a snare drum.

Bailey, shouldn't that last line read "I'll stay away from you"?

This shows a creative way to get rid of an old tamborine, left over from the '60s folk scare.

Fortunately, there's no way to transmogrify a washboard.

I hope.

we have a washboard player in one of the bands. cymbal, blocks, cow bell, whistle, bulb horn and a washboard all hanging on a 6'4'' bald guy wearing black gloves with thimbles glued to the finger tips; it's a real crowd pleaser. there are a couple of other locals that play spoons. another real crowd pleaser. seems here in vacationland, wierd is ok, at least with the crowd. sometimes there is limit to what works to keep the groove. with a washboard the groove is more like an errosion channel.

that banjorine thing however is pushing the limit. i say it should be turned over and used like a collection basket in church to collect tips for the band.

Now we need a two-neck version made from a vintage set of bongos - the Banjo-bong!

"Hey Punk, where you goin' with those buttons on yer shirt?

Hey Punk, where you goin' with those buttons on yer shirt?

I'm goin' to the love-in to sit and play my banjo-bong in the dirt!"

With apologies to Francis Zappa's ka...

"Banjo-bong".

Finally a worthwhile idea for a banjo. But will the idea hold water?

Coming next, how about Big Bambu-Banjo? "Look at the size of that mother. We'll never fit it on the album cover". (Apologies to Tommy and Senor Marin).
