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 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?"

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.

Did you hear the one about the banjo picker who could play in tune?
Neither did I.

What do you call a pretty woman on the arm of a bass player?
A tattoo.
A tattoo.
How can you tell the stage is level?
The bass player drools out both sides of his mouth.

How do you know that a bass player is on your porch?
He can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in.

A violin has strings, a fiddle has strangs.

Hey! I like..
Hey, I like banjos. But then I like bagpipes.
Why do bagpipe players walk around when they play?
They're trying to get away from the noise.
I really do like banjos AND bagpipes. But has anybody heard bagpipes indoors at very close range???

I was born and grew up in North Dakota. When I was in my teens I visited relatives in Alabama. It was my first trip Down South. They had a guitar, and asked me to sing a song for them. I played the Hank Williams song, "Hey Good Lookin'." My cousin's husband said, "That shore do sound purdy with your Yankee accent."
I thought to myself, "What accent? I'm singing it regular."
We played Bluegrass and Old Time music for the rest of the night. Good times.

A violin takes longer to burn...
The drone of the pipes is one of the world's most recognizable sounds. When you hear it, either someone is dead or about to be.
Not many bagpipe jokes.
The rest are true stories.

Nice and informative article. Among the many styles of music I enjoy, bluegrass figures prominently, and many, many years ago I wanted to be an engineer. Who knew that required mathematical aptitude?
I love good banjo music. I'm also fond of bagpipes. So sue me.
