Hello Kids!

Petaluma Pete’s latest P360 video is about how a well-rounded education MUST include making music, using a banjo player to help make the point.

In musician circles, the banjo takes a lot of good-natured abuse, right along with accordion players and drummers.

Luckily, the banjo player in Petaluma Pete’s video has a sense of humor, but even HE would not take his banjo with him when he attended the Berklee College of Music, for fear of having to endure jokes like those listed below, which happen to be my favorite. 🙂
Q. If you drop a banjo and an accordion from a tall building, which one will hit the ground first?
A. Who cares?

Q. What do you call a banjo player who breaks up with his girl friend?

A. Homeless.
Q. If you drop a banjo from a tall building, what do you hear when it hits the ground?
A. Applause.
Q. Why do some people take an instant aversion to banjo players?
A. It saves time in the long run.
Q. What does a banjo player say when he gets to his gig?
A. You want fries with that?

Q. What’s the difference between a Harley Davidson motorcycle and a banjo?
A. You can tune a Harley.

This Gary Larson cartoon says it all.

Ask your adults if they know any other banjo, accordion or drummer jokes and tell them to feel free to insert them in the comment section below. (Piano player jokes will be considered inappropriate.)
