The banjo should sue Deliverance for destroying it's reputation.

Our uke band Music Director was born in your neck of the woods, and occasionally wears his kilt. I thought this image was appropriate for him.

For the banjo players out there...

My brother got the bug to learn Banjo so I bought him one, a tuner and a couple of easy learn books for Christmas.

I think he tuned it once and played it never - LOL...

I think the Banjo is like juggling. We admire people who can do it but couldn't be bothered ourselves - LOL...

There are banjos and banjos and ...

I have two banjos - a 4-string plectrum banjo and a banjo ukulele. The plectrum banjo has a long neck and is tuned CGBD. The banjo ukukele (aka banjouke, banjolele) is the size of a concert uke and is tuned GCEA (aka re-entrant tuning, like most ukes, except baritone uke).

I had no desire to play bluegrass tunes, nor to use finger picks to play clawhammer style, and didn't need the 5th string (aka drone). I mainly strum the plectrum.

We have a subset of players in our uke band who play the banjouke on appropriate tunes, and perform 'banjouke ensemble breakouts' by standing to play some instrumental passages in a tune (a takeoff from the big band era).

I grew up watching/listening to George Formby, a self-taught Lancashire-born banjouke player:

And on the other side, that's why i dislike the banjo.
