FLOPPIE THE BANJO CLOWN


Floppie the Banjo Clown was used as a “hired gun” by rock musicians who wanted to beef up their sound on tour. He played with virtually every important rock band that ever toured. Unfortunately for Floppie, his stints with each band were short lived. This is because Floppie would get so excited while playing his banjo solos that he would “flop” backwards onto the floor. This almost always led to injury. As a result, he was forced to leave the line-up, and of course, never get paid. This accounts for his slightly tattered “hobo” appearance (and quite possibly contributed to his “sad” demeanor…although there is evidence that he was a bit melancholy throughout his life.)But more importantly, Floppie’s untimely departure forced photographers to doctor any photos they had taken that had Floppie in them! That’s right, they removed him from the pictures! This may sound shocking, but it’s also completely understandable. This was the only way they could sell their photos to media outlets who always demand photos that are “up-to-date.” But the tragic result is that Floppie’s contribution has not gotten proper recognition.
