A little "Bluegrass" humor

[ExcitableBoy]

How about a band with banjo, accordion, bagpipes, didgeridoo, bluegrass fiddle, pedal steel, whiskey jug and washboard?

I just know that I'm going to have nightmares tonight!!!

Heard this Saturday at a guitar shop and I recalled the recent thread here about how many times "Free Bird" has been played.

To the absolute delight of some,who consider it an "anthem" of sorts; and those others, who shriek for relief when it starts.

I can relate to this. If I have to listen to "Orange Blossom Special" one more time I'll yank every last hair out of my head.

I know a fiddler that would not play "Orange Blossom Special".

The story is told of Earl Scruggs about him falling as he exited the stage after a show. His banjo took a lick and he is supposed to have said: "Did it knock it in tune?"

P.S. I like Bluegrass Music and banjos, but I also love banjo jokes.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

I love good bluegrass music also country and western and some classic rock and also gospel but I must admit when I first moved to Alabama I was at a little country church and the pastor who was a friend of mine asked me to play a few hymns on my guitar .At the end of the service he asked was their anyone who wanted to request any songs .This lady raised her hand and said we haven't sung sweet home Alabama in a long time pastor does he know that one .The pastor looks at me and I said well yes I know it but is that appropriate here .He smiles and says you in Alabama boy that is considered a hymm here so I break into an acoustic rendition of Sweet Home and sure enough that group of people came to there feet and we had a fired up sing along .I guess I don't get tired of hearing the classics and definitely love to watch and listen to someone who has taken tne time to learn to play an instrument perform . To all you banjo guys and girls thanks heck thanks to all you folks who can clapp your hands and stomp your feet and try to stay in time I'm gonna go play a song or two and take another drink of wine lol . Only Skinnard fans will understand that last line .

On a different note, I heard once that the difference between a fiddle and a violin was it took longer to burn the violin.

I added a few jokes to this thread, but I love Bluegrass music (and TRADITIONAL Country music) and even played in a Bluegrass band for a few years.

I love Bluegrass (done well-it CAN be done badly), my wife hates it. Guess we're a mixed family! lol

Agreed. Just because we're taking the p**s out of it doesn't mean we don't like it

The difference is - (as I was told) you play the fiddle on Saturday night at the dance and the violin on Sunday morning in church.

I Hope you do Leon... given your board name and all!

I love Bluegrass and Old Time Country String band music. Uniquely American and appreciated world wide, even in Japan!

I've seen many of the greats at a small venue in New Jersey called the Englishtown Music Hall. Held about 150 people max. How the owner got all the great acts up there I'll never understand. Sadly no longer there. I'll remember those shows for as long as I live.

How do you get a banjo player off your porch?

Pay him for the pizza.

Did you hear about the bass player who locked his keys in his car?

Took him an hour to get the (insert instrument here) player out.

What's the difference between a fiddle and a violin?

You tap your foot when you're playing a fiddle.
