You have to sit through a short video advertisement, but this is definitely one of the craziest banjo solos ever...

Now if only we could figure out a way to turn this into a new banjo joke.

Hmmmm......

This gives me an idea.  I wonder if they can go in and REMOVE experiences....like my current job!  Once I am done with it I would love it if it no longer lived in my brain  Cheers

Hope everyone is having a great fall!

Eew! Cool but still...so weird thinking of someone mucking about in your head while you play music. I wonder if his brain tickles every time he plays that piece now. Anyone know how he is? Did it work?

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

Watchin’ that kinda made my butt pucker.  EEK! 

There are some positives that can come out of hand tremors though.

The Banjo (player) Joke:

Our story today takes place at Shady Grove Festivarian Rest Home. (stop me if you already heard this one LOL) Well, the residents of the home still true to their bohemian nature liked to gather after dinner for a nude soak in the hot tub. Mr. Guitar Strummer and Ms. Mando Picker were obviously attracted to one another and quickly became friends. Night after night they’d sit close, soak and talk. One night Mr. Guitar Strummer got up enough nerve to ask something of Ms. Mando Picker that had been on his mind practically since they had met. “I was just wondering” he said “Since we’ve become such good friends these past weeks” he hesitated “Well … maybe you could just put your hands on my (small) member?” Ms. Mando Picker, not being a young girl any more was still kind of embarrassed at this request, but, realizing we’re not here on earth forever, and thinking they might both get some enjoyment and companionship bashfully complied. Well, their little hot tub ritual continued on for quite a few nights until one evening Ms. Mando Picker was a little late getting to the hut tub and when she got there she found Ms. Banjo Plunker in her place all nice and cozy and with her hands under the bubbling water and out of sight and Mr. Guitar Strummer looking quite content. At seeing this Ms. Mando Picker surprised herself at her jealous reaction. She walked over and slapped Mr. Guitar Strummer across the head and said rather loudly “You cad, I thought we were friends and had a special arrangement and the first time I’m a little late for our “visit” I find you with this hussy, Ms. Banjo Plunker”. She continued obviously hurt, “Well let me ask you something, what’s she got that I haven’t got?” Without missing a beat (pun intended) Mr. Guitar Strummer replied, “Hand tremors”.
