ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -- A banjo player accused of assaulting another man with his instrument will get to keep pickin' while awaiting his trial. Joseph Stancato, 33, of Denver faces second-degree assault charges after allegedly hitting another man upside the head with his banjo on New Year's Eve. Authorities said Stancato got into an argument with two men at a bus stop.

The banjo is considered "a deadly weapon" under Colorado law, so Stancato could face prison time, the Aspen Daily News reported.

Dueling banjos. Just thought I'd say it before someone else did.

Unlike a guitar, a banjo has a heavy solid steel core...

Assault and battery with an attempt to commit bluegrass!

Re: I wondered about that scene in Zombieland

When Woody plays a few notes of deliverance, then walks into the store, nailing the zombie with the banjo.
