Boris the Spider was written by John Entwistle about the accidental death of Pete Townshend's cat Boris. Keith Moon and Roger Daltrey thought that the cat was a giant spider and threw one of Townshend's Hiwatt cabinets on it.
Nobody means to play the banjo. It just happens in the aftermath of drinking moonshine.
My mistake. How about this: Banjo is one of the most melodic instruments and is played by some of the most accomplished musicians.
Leo Fedner never changed his name, it's always been Leo.
His parents did change the family name when they immigrated from Eastern Europe to the United States. The original family name was Dažādumašīnudaļas which roughly translates to car parts.
When combined, the instrument is called a Bouzouki
Combine that with food to make the Pizookie, the ultimate play and eat musical instrument.
For bassists a four string Boozookie has been developed.
Mind you, the Bouzouki has to be handled with care, since it can disable a tank or other armored vehicle. After one shot, it is simply discarded.
That was after The Question, but before that he played an even-temperament benevolent banjo...

Okay, that's far enough. No one come any closer. One step over the ledger line and I'll fire this canon at the fermata and blow the bridge...
I coda been a cantata...
Et Tutti, Bruno?

The "tort" that so many here on talk bass covet has nefarious origins. "Tort" is short for torture. This plastic sheet cut to size as a pickguard is produced by child laborers induced to work faster through regular beatings and water-boarding.
