I'm sorry

[ericcoleman]

I wish to apologize to everyone for this affront. This may not affect some of you for some time, but, for most of you, eventually it will.

I'm so sorry, I really am.

You're sorry you tried to learn how to play the banjo?

[ericcoleman]

No, I apologize because I AM learning how to play the banjo. I've already written one piece of music for it.

[controuble.livejournal.com]

Goody - I love banjo music.
Gonna play some at Demi?

[coburnsteeth.livejournal.com]

APOLOGIZE?

Why? Banjos are fun as hell to play!

[hardly-angelic.livejournal.com]

Pfft. Until BC Rich makes one, I'll pass.














I *am* kidding. You know that, right?

[ericcoleman]

uh huh ... sure you're kidding ...

[hardly-angelic.livejournal.com]

I've actually been idly musing for the last five minutes about what it would look like if BCR made one.

[mike46.livejournal.com]

Probably like the banjo Dean makes .... only more pointy

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

I'll let it go - THIS time.

[ericcoleman]

The next, and probably last instrument that I will buy will be either a mandocello or a bouzouki

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

Kewl! I guess that makes up for it.

Is that a 2" rocket pod moutned on a sheep?

And at the folk festival....

Two of the questions you never hear are, "Is that the banjo player's Lamberghini?" and, "Is the accordion player single?" I don't think I want to play banjo any more, or accordion for the first time.

When you throw an accordion and a banjo off a 500 foot cliff at the same time, which lands first?

Who cares?

Re: And at the folk festival....

[erik]

I would have said the accordion, actually.

Because it was likely hurled with greater force....

I was going to say, "Let the banjo jokes commence," but I see that I am too late.

Definition of an optimist? A banjo player with a beeper.

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

Better than a ukelele, or a bagpipe.

Of course, Eric on the Uke doing a Tiny Tim impersonation boggles.

It's spelled ukulele. I do know one Tiny Tim impersonator. Her name is Betty and she is very convincing. (I even jammed with the real Tiny Tim once before he died. Just a little too weird.)

Re: Spelling

[ericcoleman]

I think I know Betty ... didn't know her name was Betty, but I run into her at MN cons.

[ericcoleman]

I own this

[beamjockey.livejournal.com]

(I don't. But I was tempted.)

[bibliofile.livejournal.com]

Anyone would be (tempted).

The Banjo is the happiest insturment EVER! It is impossible to play a sad song on the Banjo. If people are mad at you, well, they can go...away.

Banjo is what Marscon needs.

[freeimprov.livejournal.com]

Remind me to have John play a certain song on the banjo for you sometime... and if you think it's a happy song, I'll make sure you get locked up somewhere nice and safe. :P

"Journey of the Sorcerer" has its sad moments.

[hazelchaz]

Sad? It's the HHGTTG theme!

Re: J. of S.

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

What's your point? It starts with the destruction of Earth and ends with the destruction of ANY possibility of Earth in ANY universe. This is happy?

Re: J. of S.

[hazelchaz]

Point taken.

Re: J. of S.

[ericcoleman]

This is a bad thing? Have you looked around?

[wildcard9.livejournal.com]

I hereby request Eric Coleman and Timm Waffle doing Duel Banjos at some point. It should be interesting to see what the two of you can come up with :-)

[jannyblue.livejournal.com]

If they do someone should get it on video for You-Tube.

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

I'd have probably done that before taking up the guitar, except for two things - my Dad's banjo was most definitely for lefties, and it, in any case, needed repairs I had no money for.

Now, I like my cittern's sound better than any banjo's, so I probably won't learn banjo. Besides, there's not enough practice time as is; if I was going to add something it would be hammered dulcimer, just 'cause it sounds so good. If the bridges are in the right place, anyway...

Oh, death and grief and sorrow and murder...

Tone deaf and tuneless here. Go for it.
