I like to keep my eye on banjos for sale on Ebay (as you can never own enough banjos).

and today Ebay popped up a notification:

I don't quite know why they had a picture of a child playing a banjo when they were trying to sell organs and pianos !!

If anyone has a nice Weaver banjo for sale, PLEASE put me on your list of buyers... but don't tell thereallynicelady or she may turn ugly.

Also odd that Alf would have his banjos made in an American organ factory. Who knew?

Very suspicious. He could easily claim that they were built in York, which is south of Manchester, southeast of Dover and only 30 miles from Lancaster. Nobody need know those are towns in America...

As Blue Boy's impoverished American cousin, Green Boy worked in the Weaver Organ Factory. From meager wages he could only afford a banjo. Blue Boy, on the other hand, did not work and had his very own symphony orchestra.

Green boy is, well, "green" and very serious about tending to the environment and teaching his pets to read music. Either that or Tittles is about to seriously shred his stockings...

Indeed it is Green Boy's early songs against  the factory coal smoke and the rivers diverted for the mills that mark the origin of the eponymously named Green movement.

For his songs lamenting factory labour conditions, Green Boy's outraged employer cried " We've no time for protest!! Get the folk out of here", or words to that effect, as he hurled Green Boy into the street. This of course, marks the origin of the Folk Protest movement.

And then he moved to Wisconsin and started a football team: The Green Boy Packers.
