Steve Martin banjo, frailing, clawhammer medly – Loch Lomond Sally Anne
When asked why he started in comedy, Steve Martin answered…”because nobody ever says..’hey look, there’s the banjo player’s Mercedes’….”
If you haven’t had your good belly laugh today, here ya go
This is funny. There’s some banjo in the soundtrack (required bluegrass content). Enjoy
Debbie Kerns just sent me this cool link to a website that will show you the #1 song on the day of your birth. It would be fun to see the MRBA members hits.
Number One Song on this Date in History
Curtis Rathburn – “Quarter to Three” by Gary U.S. Bonds
Phyllis Erck -Â “Poor People of Paris” by Les Baxter
Post yours here as a comment. Thanks for this fun link Debbie.
MRBA member, Jay Barber, the Whistleberry Cowboy, has a new website online. He has samples of his original cowboy songs and some of his writings.  With song titles like “I I just don’t look good naked anymore” and “Viagra Cowboy” your bound to get a giggle or 2 out of Jay’s music.
Check it out at www.whistleberrycowboy.com.
Here’s a note Curtis & I received from Jay and Ruthi from their wintering grounds in Arizona:
Hi Phyllis and Curt. check out my new web page. I have found the most economical way to get my songs out is to write funny songs. They send them off to their friends so all can get a laugh. I know this isn’t the kind of thing you would put on your mail list but you might know some people who would enjoy listening to them. Let me know how you feel about these songs.

WE are in AZ now but can’t wait to get bach to Montana.
I found some jokes told by some Bluegrass Performers over the years.
Lester Flatt used to say of Josh Graves durring introductions, “You’ve heard of people that don’t know nothin’? Well he don’t even suspect nothin’.”
The Pinnacle Boys’ Bud Brewster used to respond to requests for songs they didn’t like or didn’t know by saying, “I’m sorry but we don’t have that one worked up. But here’s one with a lot of the same notes and we sure hope you’ll like it.”
Tom Rozum was full of lame jokes at the Lewis-Rozum shows. One example:
Why do chicken coops have two doors?
If they had four, they’d be chicken sedans…
How about this from the Country Gentlemen.
Boy, I really like this town, but I gotta tell you, last night, I didn’t get any sleep at all. There were all these girls banging on the door all night long!
It got so bad, I finally had to get up and let ’em out!
And an oldie but a goodie….what do you call a beautiful woman on the arm of a banjo player?
a tattoo
Got any others ?
Laura Barber, Jay’s daughter and the Ramblin’ Rose’s first bass player, sent me this funny one.
Here’s a really good tutorial for you bluegrassers on how to convert over to digital TV.Â
Thanks to Lori Silcher for sending me this. It helped me to get my good belly laugh in for the day.
