You shouldn't be watching that sort of stuff. It will cloud your sensibilities.

havent you guys heard of the "hip hop chop" I think Chuck norris invented it with Snoop Dogg.:p

How awful! The results could be as horrible as the reverse scenario.... something as perverse as white hillbillies borrowing the African banjer from ex-slaves!!! (Yeah...right. and a monkey might fly out of my.....)

If God had wanted someone to play the mandolin, He would have made him/her an ..... Italian!

I'm not interested in a very "heavy" conversation here, but I don't get the reference to the bajo and African slaves. I thought it was well known that the banjo was originally an African instrument.

Kevin- I think you're right, and
I read Niles' post as being very sarcastic.

[Snakebeard Jackson]

rap mandolin might be cool. Think of how amazing Gin and Juice was country style:laugh:
