IMPORTANT CULTURAL UPDATE

[spatch]

There is a banjo in the office.
Someone just played the opening Duelling Banjos lick.
I'm waiting for the pickin' and a-grinnin' to commence.

Hopefully that's as far as things will go.

Sing along!

"Oh I'm glad I'm not Ned Bea-a-tty..."

Btw, thanks for getting the damn Dueling Banjos song in my head.

*starts singing "Tom's Diner"*

be pompous, obese, and eat cactus!

I will pay him ten bucks if he plays the Grandmother's Song.

[spatch]

Won't work.

Now I've got Duelling Tubas in my ear.

Funny. I just took my banjo out of the trunk of my car today before heading to work. A friend of mine and I were supposed to practice last night for a 'talent show' that's coming up, but she'd forgotten her guitar. And no, I will not play Feudin' (Duelling) Banjos.

Actually, it DID work. "Tom's Diner" always works for me. And I don't MIND having that song in my head!

[spatch]

I suppose that song is to the banjo as "Heart & Soul" (or "Chopsticks") is to the piano, or as "Lady of Spain" is to the accordion.

I saw a banjo for fifty bucks at a pawnshop once, and nearly bought it just so I could learn Grandmother's Song. You could have saved me 20% with your donation!

That made me grin too...I love our company.

Or "Stairway to Heaven" is for the guitar

"No Duelin'? Denied!"

Now I'm jonesing for a bluegrass version of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Paging Hayseed Dixie...

Sigh--their only Queen cover is "Fat-Bottomed Girls."

Although they do a mean "Dueling Banjos."

Re: be pompous, obese, and eat cactus!

[spatch]

That Queen cover is great, though. As is "My Best Friend's Girl" and "Ace of Spades".

Banjo Guy just explained he got it for $85.00 on Craigslist, it's only got two strings but since he knows guitar, he's gonna restring it and learn how to play.

Man, I wish I had $50-$85 for a banjo...

Personally, I'm hoping for "Whiskey 'Fore Breakfast" by Mike Cross.

[jimmystagger.livejournal.com]

Do you work with Steve Martin?

[spatch]

Good god, I wish I did.

[spatch]

Jug Band would be an instant videogame sensation. I'd fight everyone to get to play washboard.

Have you heard Joousama Monogatari, the 9-minute-long (I think) Japanese-language Queen medley?

"What's brown and full of holes??"
"Swiss shit! Yeee-haw!!"

Holy shit.

I remember reading that joke in junior high. I LOVE that joke.
