I am an angel looking to replace my harp. Should I get a banjo or an accordian?

oh, totally banjo.

accordian is nice but a bit of a one trick pony. and the ladies will laugh at you.

Not uh. I like accordian more.

The accordion, I guess. Easier to play interesting music by yourself, while on a banjo you have to get really, really good before you can really start playing solo and sound good.
Plus, you can learn Samla Mammas Manna tunes, which is what heaven is all about.

The accordion, for the bridge in "Hocus Pocus" by Focus alone.

Accordion. (See Arabic music.)

Are people changing names again, or are there just hundreds of new people posting every day?

I've noticed that too.

If you're a girl: accordian
If you're a guy: banjo

End of story.

I recently acquired the desire to own and play both of these instruments. Sigh.

Banjo is historically more important to American music, I think, based on what I read in Stomp and Swerve. (But other country's have music too.)

banjo.

Dock Boggs is king.

Banjo, sounds way cooler. Especially if you can play really fast.

Banjo gives me the willies unless it's being played free improv style and then it's just boring.

I recently got a concertina. I can play three notes on it which is all I need.

Get a banjo. It's only got five strings. Plus, I like to call it a Drumitar!

Okay, I've never called it a drumitar. Feel free to use that, though.

The banjo is believed to be Satan's instrument. My recently deceased Aunt Lillian wanted to play the banjo but her mom Would Not Have It! I hope Lillian is playing one in heaven now. You and her can jam, Angel.

i always thought that the devil's bearded children played accordian really badly. I could reclaim both drumitar and accordian for heaven. Maybe even combine the two in a drumitordian- a wind powered banjo! Speedy, i formed a power trio with your aunt lillian on drums. she's pretty damn good.

You could move to rural Louisiana and learn how to play Afro-Creole zydeco accordion. That would be cool...

Just make sur she knows the words if you let her sing. She always had a spot of bother with that.

the coolest band ever played the banjo.
