“String” him up!

I like some banjo music. Mary Flower, in particular.

But was it on his knee?

Was his name Earl Scruggs?

Later, when he passed away from a bad case of banjo knee, she regretted her decision

Who’s her boyfriend? Roy Clark?

Maybe later she’ll be comin’ ’round the mountain?

Nice play on Stephen Foster’s song!

Oh, Susanna, just remember not to cry for him or you will ruin the song.

The banjo is one of the most difficult instruments to play. It takes real talent to play one……and years of practice.

“Tell him I’m coming down with something, so I’m not coming down.”

Are the pictures on the wall from “pickles” by Brian Crane?

She has a date with an accordion player.

…at least he left his bagpipes home!
