Hit: 5 Stars
Banjo Gags --- Q. What's the difference between a banjo and an onion? A. No one cries when you chop up a banjo. --- Q. What's the difference between a banjo and a trampoline? A. You take off your shoes when you jump on a trampoline. --- Q. How is playing a banjo like throwing a javelin blindfolded? A. You don't have to be very good to get people's attention. --- Q. What's the difference between a lawn mower and a banjo? A. You can tune the lawn mower. --- Q. If you were lost in the woods, who would you trust for directions: an in-tune banjo player, an out-of-tune banjo player, or Santa Claus? A. The out-of-tune banjo player. The other two indicate you have been hallucinating. ------ Q. How do you make a chain saw sound like a banjo? A. Add vibrato. ----- Q. What's the definition of a gentleman? A. Someone who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't. ----- Q. What's the difference between a dead snake in the road and dead banjo player in the road? A. Skid marks in front of the snake. ----- Q. What's the difference between a dead banjo playor in the road and a dead country singer in the road? A. The country singer may have been on the way to a recording session. -----Q. What's the range of a banjo? A. Twenty yards if you have a good arm. ----- Q. Why are banjors fingers like lightning? A. They rarely strike the same spot twice. ----- If you took all the banjo players in the world and laid them end to end -- it would be a good idea. ----- Q. What do you call ten banjos at the bottom of the ocean? A. A good start. ----- Q. Why do banjor players walk when they play? A. To get away from the sound. ----- Q. What's the definition of "optimism" A. A banjo player with a beeper. ----- Did you hear the one about the banjo player who parked his car with the windows open, forgetting that he had left his banjo in the back seat? He rushed back as soon as he realised it, but it was too late -- someone had already put another banjo in the car!

Title: VOL. 2-TALES FROM THE ACOUSTIC
Street Release Date: 06/22/1999
Genre: BLUEGRASS
In a jaw-dropping return to his roots, banjoist Béla Fleck led a stellar lineup (Jerry Douglas, Earl Scruggs, Tony Rice, and Sam Bush, to name a few) through one of his finest albums. With incredible musicianship and a smidgen of Fleck's genre-hopping personality ("Polka On The Banjo"), The Bluegrass Sessions is fun, nostalgic, and inspiring. --Jason Verlinde
Béla Fleck, the banjo-wizard leader of the fringe-jazz quartet the Flecktones, returns to more-bluegrass-oriented concerns with this 18-song outing, a complement to 1988's Drive and a more-traditional follow-up to 1995's fusion-leaning Tales from the Acoustic Planet. Most of these songs are instrumentals boasting Drive's core group of Sam Bush on mandolin, Stuart Duncan on fiddle, Tony Rice on guitar, Jerry Douglas on Dobro, and bassist Mark Schatz; they're augmented in spots by fine guest players such as Vassar Clements, John Hartford, and the incomparable banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs. Fleck's spidery, tasteful plucking style lends originals like "Major Honker" and "Katmandu" an ever-so-slightly offbeat air, while he gives classics like Scruggs's "Foggy Mountain Special" and "Polka on the Banjo" traditional readings that wouldn't be out of place at the Opry. Flecktones fans will find much to like in Fleck's rootsy playing, and so will bluegrass purists. --Gregory McNamee
