This is kind of funny, and we are still having a little chuckle over it.
Saturday, my wife and I worked a garden show with a booth displaying my line of organic gardening products at the prestigious Tampa Garden Club on Bayshore Blvd. Beautiful weather, and we were outdoors under the oaks with a view of Old Tampa Bay.
We did a gig the night before, and thought it would be cool to bring our instruments for the slow times of the show so we could get a little practice time in and perhaps draw people to the booth.
My wife was playing her Martin guitar and I had my MK Dragonfly with all the inlay etc.
The very nice and well educated lady at the next booth was thrilled at the free entertainment. She started to talk to us and went on about how much she loved the little ban*o I was playing, and how her grandfather had played one too. I informed her that it was a mandolin, but she insisted that it must be a ban*o because it sounded like the ban*o she remembered!
Kinda goofy but we found it funny.
