In case a certain little lady comes by...


Andy in the hall grappling with a newly acquired bass banjo. I did not know such things existed.

  1. And bigger and he wouldn't get it into the hall unless he stood sideways.

    1. It is mounted on a stand on stage and he walks up behind it. No chance of a strap!

  3. Just been listening to some banjo playing. He can always sit and play that way.

  5. That is one giant banjo. Strolling banjo players would require a float the likes of a parade float.

  6. Haven't seen a banjo this big since Woodie Guthrie's famed fascist killing banjo that also had five strings. This is a figuratively speaking. We have Pete Seeger to thank for the revival of the five string instrument and continued interest in its very long history. This instrument seems to have just four strings.

  7. I wonder if George Formby could have coped with that?
