    i have a lot of musician friends who find some of the best jokes. Here's another: "I started a band called 999 Megabytes. We still haven't got a gig."

    A banjo player came to take the entrance exam to the conservatory of music. The examiner asked him "What is the subdominant of C?" The banjo player looked confused and perplexed and just stood there. The examiner asked him "What is the matter? Don't you know what a subdominant chord is?"

    The banjo player says "I thought C was the subdominant chord."

    What's the best pickup to put on a banjo?

    An F-150.

    She says, "Oh, Mister Davis, the apple pie is gone."

    The late great Victor Borge once told the story of a man he met at an airport who said that he wished he’d brought his piano with him. When the man’s wife asked him why he said it was because he’d left the airline tickets on it.

    I once followed a performer who was so bad the audience boo'd all through my banjo solo.

    A man goes into a pawn shop in San Francisco and, for the purpose of this joke, buys a dead rat. He walks out of the shop holding the rat by the tail.

    After walking a block or two he gets a feeling he's being followed and looks behind him, and there's a rat walking a few yards in back of him. He turns back and continues to walk. A few blocks later he looks behind him, and now there are a dozen rats following him. He quickens his pace.

    A block later he looks behind him and there are now hundreds of rats following him. he breaks into a run. After another block he glances back and there are thousands of rats running behind him.

    He runs down to the Embarcadero, runs to the end of a pier, throws the dead rat into the Bay, and the thousands of rats all run past him, jump into the Bay and drown.

    The man watches all of this open-mouthed. He turns and runs back to the pawn shop, goes up to the proprietor and asks: "Got any banjos?"

    Due to COVID-19 I shall be self-isolating; just me and my banjo. Nothing new there then.

    COVID-19 hasn't changed anything for me....yet. Tomorrow's another day.

    I know why toilet paper sales has skyrocketed. Everytime somebody sneezes, a hundred people crap in their pants. Everyone is so health conscious that you could probably rob a bank with a booger.
