The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 05, 2020

You can’t have a Dixieland Brass Band without a banjo. His opportunity for keystone support had arrived.

You can’t tie down a banjo man!

hope stevens has got brass balls…

Leo Moracchioli could work with this….

There isn’t another banjo in the meeting room? If there were, the meeting would devolve into ‘Dueling Banjos,’ Deliverance style, and that never ends well.

They play “highbrow” music!

He has to pluck while they blow their own horns, hate when that happens!

He is left handed. He must be in his right mind.

Top Brass discovered that Stevens leads a double life. One that’s dark and sordid, filled with sax and violins!

Uh oh! Now he’ll have to string them along…..

Q: What’s the difference between a banjo and a trampoline?

A: You take off your shoes to jump on a trampoline. ;D

I wanted to be a classical composer, but all the good instruments already had somebody famous for composing on them: Bach had the organ, Liszt and Chopin the piano, Vivaldi and Paganini the violin, Sousa the brass band, and so on. So I decided to specialize in quartets for bagpipe, kazoo, accordion, and banjo. Now all I need is a publisher.

Playing the swan song.

The brass is gonna string him up

They’ve been stringing Stevens along for years.

And try not to speak with that twang you have.

Just don’t string him along!

Brass hole.

Play “Foggy Mountain Breakdown”. It is almost impossible to be in a bad mood after that, and firing someone would be quite difficult.

Cue the dramatic music!

You’re goin’ to Alabama with your banjo on your knee.

Dueling banjo…vs brass? I’d like to hear that one!

Legal department will also be there as they are the company mouthpieces.

Marching drums. That’s the ticket.

At least, there’s not another banjo guy waiting to play “Dueling Banjos” for his job.

Play “Brass Bonanza.”

Time to face the music.

…and bring your Steve Martin “arrow through the head” prop, too…
