UOGB, right. So would that be like the Big Ben Banjo Band then  ;D

PP I think we will have to do a uke\banjo tune at our next gathering as I've learnt three chords now, well four if you include the open  :P

1: Cheeky bugger.
2: Yes - 3 chords in G sounds about right to me.

Bullseye  :)

I'd better try and find the odd 7th as well then, there's a slight problem in that somebody will have to lend me the aforsaid  banjo :o

It's in the contract guys, if you wish to perform perverse acts, please, in private, not at a gathering of sensitive weenie souls.

It's OK Richard - don't fret trying to find a banjo.  We can do it with you on lap slide (phew!). I would offer to switch to guitar, but I don't want to miss an opportunity to wind up Blueshome...

Blueshome is visiting me tonight and we're off to see rick218.  I might flash my ukulele at him (turned out nice again....).

Afraid it was a missed opportunity. Blueshome got - quite literally - stuck up the creek without a paddle in his luxury yacht(?) and was late, so met him over at Rick's place.

Yacht eh? Had he been a true banjoist enthusiast like wot I am he would have known that his instrument would double as the proverbial paddle, just another advantage over ukes I suppose  :-\

Now you've brought yachts into it - how far off track! Still the wind whistles musically through the rigging when it blows, which it unfortunately failed to do the other evening.

Fortunately for the rest of the posts we are in "other musical interests" as I'm not aware of much blues uke playing (there was Little Laura Dukes with the Memphis Jug Band) and the number of blues b***oists is tiny compared to guitar, piano or harmonica.

Yes! There we have it - inspiration for next year's Euroweenie gathering.  I'll play ukulele; as a top drummer Richard will have no problem with the washboard bit and Blueshome, well he can be the washerwoman at the beginning...  >:D

That's nice.

PP, I'm staying on the banjo for our gig. One needs to be in practice for the washboard and I'm not!

Oh - it's a "gig" now is it?  I'm starting to get scared already...
