I don't need Blackbirds, I hold musical extravaganzas with our African Grey parrot. She whistles something and I whistle it back - it is a bit like Duelling Banjos but often lapses into language I couldn't mention on a public forum! I think it's TV that's corrupted her
Duelling Banjos
I remember a musician friend of mine who arrived late to gig in the midlands in time to hear the support act announcing his "much requested" final number: "Duelling Banjos". This was a solo artist using pre-recorded backing discs. He launched into frantic strumming on an accoustic guitar whilst the "duel" took place through left and right speakers by means of the backing track with no other input from him! The crowd loved it and went mad with whoops and applause. This caused my friend, who with his 5 piece band, had struggled through traffic and bad weather to get there from Kendal to say "Why do I bother!".
