    Joshua 6:5 clearly says; 'All the people shall shout aloud' . . . so, perhaps, that's where the banjos fit it?

    Yep, if ya don't take one of those "No Thanks" tags, then the Banjo Police will come a-knockin' at the door to sign ya up for mandatory lessons!

    Full disclosure: Banjo player here, most of them tuned GDAE of course like most everything else around here. To me, for instance, a GDAE tenor banjo is just a louder variant of a GDAE tenor guitar, although I was thinking that historically the tenor banjos came first.

    I suspect you folks are singlehandedly responsible for a nightmare I had last night. There I was, at some kind of party with lots of scantily clad girls who said "Oh come on, play something for us", and I grabbed the black thing standing beside me - a BANJO CASE !!?

    Thanks to Zach and Doc Ivory for breaking out of the banjo motif, I was beginning to feel lonesome with my non-banjo-bashing jokes.
