I did hear part of that, but had a rather shortened lunch today, due to a little plumbing difficulty that I was experiencing at the time (which meant that I left a customer without any water).
What I heard was v. enjoyable.
I have though of getting a banjo, but:
1) I can't play the guitar propery
2) I can't play the ukulele properly
3) I can't play anything else properly, either
4) Banjos are naturally LOUD, and I would feel bad about the neighbours
5) Banjo players are viewed with a great deal of suspicion amoungst other musos. Not sure why - they're all meant to be a bit strange. A bit like drummers, too, I suppose.
My dad had a banjo, which his brother brought back from some foreign land. I guess this must have been during WWII, when tea was rationed, because apparently, when my dad tried to play it, it sounded a bit peculiar. Further investigation revealed that his brother had stuffed it full of tea.

My daughter is a drummer and follows the Sweeney penchant for being a bit strange so you're right, Stew!Muddypause wrote: 5) Banjo players are viewed with a great deal of suspicion amoungst other musos. Not sure why - they're all meant to be a bit strange. A bit like drummers, too, I suppose..

How can you tell if the stage is level?
- The banjo player dribbles from both sides of his mouth.
What do you call a banjo player in a suit?
- The defendant.
What do you call an unmarried banjo player?
- Homeless.
Oh, dear; I've just been to a show of aging hippies, which included a banjo player, and a selection of banjo jokes.
