Of course! And there is no finer feeling in the world than standing in the circle with a well-tuned band playing well!
It seems that whenever I perform, someone wants to tell me a bagpipe joke. Out of self-defense I’ve acquired a large number of jokes for the purpose of beating them to the punchline.
As to banjo, I don’t play, but appreciate the instrument. It’s considerably more versatile than most folks imagine. A gentleman by the name of John Bullard has even released an album of classical music based on instruments typically associated with Bluegrass. It’s called “Bach on the Banjo” and it’s amazing. Also Bela Fleck is known for jazz banjo, a mind expanding experience if ever there was one!
