That's funny as hell!

What's the rarest phrase in the English language? "Hey, is that the banjo player's Porsche?"

I'm in Italy, my great love is Bluegrass, though I ain't got the chops for it either, but I'd be overjoyed to meet a banjo player.

I can always tell when my drummer is knocking at the door, because the knocks speed up.

Q. What's the difference between a bagpipe and an onion?
A. No one cries when you chop up an bagpipe.

How can you tell if the stage is level at a bluegrass festival?

The banjo layer drools out of both sides of his mouth.

What? No rim shot?
