Southern Talk - a banjo and two more confessions.








I’ve always had this thing about banjo music so a few years ago I bought this banjo in a junk shop. In terms of playability it was a complete disaster as instead of machine tuning heads it had push in pegs. However my Dad has a lovely Guild five string ‘G’ banjo which I have my eye on.

The attached clips are for Camille. She says that when I do my grand tour of the USA the only way I’ll be able to charm a Southern woman is if I can play the banjo.

The other confession? *blush. Well if in the interests of scientific research I had to ‘do’ a guy it would have to be Burt Reynolds. I think that’s enough confessions for one day.

It's true, Sunshine; there's nothing better than nimble fingers exciting a banjo! ;) Love both clips, thank you!

*ponders the spurt reynolds confession... didn't Dolly Parton land him in the movie 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas?'

Two great clips Saffron. And just a reminder: Northern women also like to be wooed with a banjo, and have even listened to girls from Appplachia's (sorry for plagiarizing Camille)nimble fingers exciting a banjo. Though folkie traditionalists still swear by Pete Seeger and his 5 string, plese give a listen to to Alison Brown, and you will fall for a female banjo player.
