Godwin's Law for Bluegrass Banjo
24 Mar, 2005
If you've never thought much about banjo beyond that scene in the beginning of Deliverance, you might be surprised to discover that there's quite an active community of banjo enthusiasts to be found online.
You might also be surprised to discover that there are talented banjo players out there who play music in styles other than Foggy Mountain Breakdown or Dueling Banjos.
You probably wouldn't be surprised, then, to discover that discussion threads about banjo players and music inevitably degenerate into chest thumping about whether a banjo player plays "real bluegrass" or not, at which point intelligent discourse is no longer possible. Even if the discussion at hand is not even about whether somebody plays "real bluegrass" or not, the debate is over the instant somebody uses the phrase "Real bluegrass".
