That's a stonker very well done, I can hear the accordions.

BTW Did you know that the definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the accordion but doesn't

Thank you John , coming from you means a lot.

Sorta like the Banjo.....a musical instrument born out of desperation! :tongue-out3:
Hello again Rick, yes a strange instrument, which I think should be banned !

Add the Jaws/Jews harp and mouth organ to the list ;) :thumb2:
Gerry can you , perhaps before your time, remember when there was a rage to use on in a band. The thing was you could only hear the odd twang.

Top to bottom and sideways, superb work 453.

Even the serving wench (or hatch as me dad called the lady!) looks horny!

Great build.

Wash your mouth out John ;) Played properly the banjo is a spectacular instrument………
Mind you, played badly it’s a snare drum with strings.
Tim it is indeed, I was thinking it was a Ukulele.The trouble with getting old !

No Chris, Polly is sitting in the conservatory enjoying the sun. He says he's retired from modelling and just hanging about on his swing.

Nah Chris.....he just needs to add the final touch to this one.
That's cruel , and just because there was no buxom wench.;)

I’ll see your Seagulls and raise you the true kings of rock grass John…..I saw them play on my fiftieth birthday, about one hundred yards from where I lived in Salisbury. Just fantastic!

Forgot to say John, Dixie have pedigree….the Banjo and Mandolin players are the sons of the original five string banjo player on the first recording of Duelling banjos……
