We tend to think of "famous" musicians and songwriters as commercially and financially successful even though, more often than not, the musician gets screwed.

It seems to me that in the olden days before recording was invented, musicians and songwriters (I'm thinking minstrels and such) were generally not wealthy individuals.

Stephen Foster, one of the earliest and most famous American pop songwriters, died p*ss poor. Sad story.

I once asked a music teacher to explain to "Baroque" music to me.

He said, "Sure! 'Barrr-oke' is what happens to you when you decide to become a musician."

True story, although I think he'd heard he joke somewhere else before.

Here's another one. Do you know what you call a jazz drummer whose girlfriend just broke up with him? Homeless.

I never should have looked at this thread. I've got a TON of these jokes!

speaking of banjos, I had a sad experience with mine the other day that has left me a little shaken.

I was in a bad neighborhood and stupidly had left the banjo in full view in the back seat.

I know it was dumb...its my fault

Sure enough i got back and the rear window had been broken and my car broken into.

My heart sank as I looked into the back seat and discovered that someone....

had left three more banjos
