I had two choices in instruments to learn. Id played the harmonica a bit

recognition..whatever..but the pipes send the prickles up the back of my
neck, I start seeing old battles..the usual.

But...sigh...the dogs and cats hate the pipes..the Phillistines!..so it
was the banjo or nothing.


Wait till they find out it's strung with catgut. ;-)

Nah..mine are steel

And the head is covered with plastic.

No anti pet musical instruments in MY home! No sirreBob!

"IMHO, some people here give Jeff far more attention than he deserves,
but obviously craves. The most appropriate response, and perhaps the
cruelest, IMO, is to simply killfile and ignore him. An alternative, if
you must, would be to post the same standard reply to his every post,
listing the manifold reasons why he ought to be ignored. Just my $0.02
worth."
