Free Range by Bill Whitehead for May 14, 2020

Where’s the one man band?

Now there’s the start of the next big thing in music.

Who said the vuvuzela isn’t an instrument?

all they need is a kazoo player…

Where’s the Hawaiian nose hummer?

Myron Floren and Roy Clark would disagree. (I say it was the bagpipe player.)

Does she have something against banjos?

Those are fine; it was the rapper.

A Scotsman, a Pole, and a Hillbilly walked into a police station….

Between the toe tapping, polka and the twanging, they about drove me nuts in that parade!

“Every time she hears that oom-pa-pa she feels so tra-la-la.” Beer Barrel Polka.

Where are the rappers and hip hoppers in that line up?

Met Eddy Peabody in 1969 when he played in Kansas City Mo. 1996 relocated to NW Tucson. Continued playing 5-string & tenor banjos, but wanted to play bagpipes. Found a group of pipers to help me break in war pipes with wood reed. Told then I was a banjo & flute player. Found out Eddy Peabody’s widow bequeathed Eddy’s pipes in to the club. Eddy had passed away in 1970 a year after I met him. WOW, banjo & bagpipe player!

I like a good banjo player, myself.

How can an accordion be uncool?…Weird Al plays it!

What, no trombone?

I love blue grass banjo playing!

Accordion to her statement.
