The Worst Banjo Note Ever Played!

[@dancollins2475]

Great references to Bluegrass Comedy! Is there any chance we could get another Hee Haw type comedy show? It was a great part of my childhood; right up there with Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner! 🤣

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Chris Thille's radio show, "Live From Here" was a mix of music and comedy with more emphasis on the music than Her Haw, but nothing I know of on the TV side.

Thanks Eddie! Weren't you the editor of a magazine about 20 years ago? I think I still have some copies but I can't remember the name.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Yes, 5-String Quarterly...26 years ago...time flies! Great to hear from you.

[@srstrand01]

@@EddieCollinsMusic I enjoyed reading the magazine. I wish it could have continued.

... the only problem with playing bad notes on the banjo is some people, like myself, find the sound of a banjo to be...well 🥶

[@jbcardin]

I thought that's how it is supposed to be played. Lol. Nice vid. Thanks.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Right, play it wrong enough times and it starts to sound right!

You Sir are a wonderfully strange bird ! And I mean that in the most complimentary of ways 👍🪕

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Glad you found that entertaining...good to have a few tricks to cover one's mistakes!

G# definitely stands out, unless you're in the G Phrygian mode where it's the defining feature. Not much heavy metal shredding or Arabic music happening on banjos I guess, but there is modal music in the folk sphere (do we count the Holy Modal Rounders?).

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Right, it's all relative to the kind of music you are used to playing and hearing.
