    hahaha i guess i should have taken this to spermidermy!

    my roommate bought one and normally hearing people practicing and noodling bothers me, but it just sounds really nice to me.

    My brother just bought a banjo and I got to mess around with it this weekend.
    I think it has a cool sound.

    i have been recording bluegrass (and a little celtic) music all summer so im all banjoed and mandolined out. They are nice instruments though if played subtle and rhythmically. I got love for the banjo. Lap steels are slick too. Confederate instruments unite.

    I love a decent banjo lick but it doesn't hold a candle to slide guitar.

    Funny how you mention a banjo and everyone immediately thinks of scary-ass Deliverence boy. God, what as an awesome scene.

    That dude has the got a wicked case of:

    yeah i don't know why i posted that pic because his face freaks me out and that scene is chilling. obviously not as fucked up as the "you sure got a purdy mouth" scene, but still memorably creepy. i actually saw a pic of banjo boy as a grown up and was surprised that he looks mostly normal as an adult.

    I love me some banjo and mandolin. Grew up with it.
    My uncle's band Fresh Cut Grass, not be mistaken by a nu-jazz/ jam band out in California.

    the mandolin is what made me learn to appreciate john paul jones. battle of evermore is my #1 led zeppelin song. sandy denny sharing vocals didn't hurt either

    "Sad Sweet Dreamer" - Sweet Sensation
    "I'll Be Holding On" - Don Downing

    These are the only two soul songs I can think of with a banjo on them - sounds weird, but it works.

    EDIT: I take that back, I just remembered that Bad Bascomb bluegrass funk LP from '73.[/b]

    I love a decent banjo lick but it doesn't hold a candle to slide guitar.

    Strange, but any music with slide guitar and/or banjo sounds the best in the middle of the summer, right when things start getting muggy and it's time to bust out the electric fan.

    I can only think of Neil Young (not strictly a banjo) and The Monks as examples I like. I guess there must be more banjo gold in them thar hills but I have found it yet.
