As it's Springtime, let us bring a little beauty and romance into the banjo world.     You probably all know this lady, but I have only just discovered her, and she has it all  in my opinion.  Miss Erroll Stanhope (1872-1969). 

  She played Saxophone, banjo, flute, and was a music hall and pantomime artist.   She was often billed as England's Lady Whistler.    Apparently she had a wonderful ability to whistle.   That's a turn on to start with.   I have attached a photo of her, and I ask gentlemen to avert their gaze when looking at that extremely pretty little ankle poised delicately on the small foot stool.

Forget the Gainsborough Lady.   I present the beautiful Miss Erroll Stanhope.

Gosh Ray, she is a stunner.  I take my hat off to anyone who can play the saxophone, flute, banjo and whistle at the same time.

I notice that she has extremely muscular forearms... is that what first attracted you to her?

:-)

It was actually the rather thick neck of her banjo.   I thought if she can get her hand around that to play it, there is not much that she cannot do, and whistle at the same time.   From what I understand, she could really whistle the high notes.   They were real women in those days.

Real women play banjos, not zither banjos! ;)

How can you even think that John.   If she had fluttered those eyelashes at you, all your strings would go twang !!!
