Not a good song to start a weekend - and it's not even a full moon.  Just to kick this back into a normal drive it should be followed by Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London.

I give Béla full points for trying.  I think this is "interesting" music but I can't say I like it.

And double points to Bill for playing it.  I love being exposed to new stuff on RP.
 
It's a lovely melody and sounds good when anyone plays it well. this is played well, I suppose. I just don't think that the banjo is the lead here and the other strings are carrying the day.

Interesting to try this with a banjo, but as one who has played it on the piano for many years, I just think piano is more fluid for Beethoven.

Definition of a gentleman:  One who knows how to play the banjo but doesn't.  

Well, if he plays as well and with as much artistry as Bela than I'm glad that he does.

This has a really boring plucked string backbeat.

The strings here are very nicely done. Too bad about that damn banjo, though.

Well, I love this.
Hard to believe that this man could play so beautifully, and in so many styles, and still have put on such an appallingly ugly concert in NL some months ago, that my friends and I walked out. Never did that in a concert before. What WAS he thinking?

This song is completely hilarious.  You are so right, substitute the violins with kazoos and it would be perfect.

Nope.  He went too far with this one.  Just stay with your regular schtick, Bela.  You can drive a Kenworth at Le Mans but it won't compete with the Ferraris.
