The only one I could find was "Bound for Glory" from 1976 with David Carradine as Woody. It sort of disappeared because the other top movies that year were "Rocky", "Network", "All the President's Men" and "Taxi Driver."

According to the synopsis, it covered Woody's early life.

Yeah, you're right. Lyle Lovett.

He knows, had he left it on the rack in the pickup truck, it might have been stolen.


So, he carried it in the store.

22. A classic banjo joke:
Sun Jul 6, 2014, 06:16 PM
Jul 2014

A banjo player parks his car in a questionable neighborhood, leaving his banjo visible in the back seat. He locks the car and goes around the corner to the convenience store to buy a six pack, confident he won't be gone long enough for anything bad to happen to his vehicle.

A few minutes later, he returns to his car, he sees shattered glass on the sidewalk. "Dammit!", he cries s he reaches the car! Someone had broken the window and put in five more banjos!

Heard this one from a banjo player. I've also heard it with accordions in place of the banjos.

Know the difference between a banjo and an onion? Nobody cries when you chop a banjo into little pieces.

Q: How do you get a drummer off your front porch?

A: Pay him for the pizza.



BTW, my husband and I and most of our friends are musicians, so, all in good fun!

It proceeded over the Continental Avenue

About 500 guitars showed up, as did a few banjos and mandolins.

He might open up on those people at any moment and subject them to bluegrass music. And they'd be helpless to resist.

"He was gonna start strummin', Your Honor."

"And how did you know this?"

"He reached into his pocket and pulled out some picks. I saw 'em plain as day. I had no choice."
