Topic: Banjo

Rick Wakeman on Planet Rock Digital Radio.......


What is the difference between a banjo and an onion ?
No one cries when you cut up a banjo.

What is the difference between a banjo and a chain saw ?
A chain saw has a dynamic range and can be switched off.

What is the difference between a banjo and a South American Macaw ?
One is loud, obnoxious and noisy, the other is just a bird.

What is the difference between a banjo and trampoloine ?
You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.

What is the difference between a banjo and an Uzi ?
An Uzi only repeats 40 times.

Re: Banjo

I received a copy of a CD titled Rediscovering The Banjo from a fraulein in Bavaria, very good stuff, but I obviously have broader taste in music than Rick Wakeman who I never liked anyways.

Re: Banjo

Why do you never see a banjo on Star Trek?



Because it's in the future.

Not only as fraulein´s dad I think Otis Taylor and the other guys did a marvellous CD, also the other CDs of Otis contain excellent banjo playing. But who is Rick Wakeman???

Gunter - Mr  Wakeman was only reading out jokes sent to him on the wireless.

No banjo players were actually harmed during this process.

Yes. keyboards and that. (As well you know !)

Let´s not be musically overcorrect. I didn´t think that any banjo player or even I should be harmed. And I know of course Rick Wakeman - even when he´s not my favourite. it´s good to have some fun here.

Dick, I thought "wireless? that's an old fashioned term and would our cousins overseas know what you were talking about". Then I thought, actually it's a bang up to date! wink
