[Ab] Peabody.
Ah, folks, here's my little spot in the show to have some fun.
They've asked me to do several tricks for you in three minutes.
[Eb] We'll do our very best.
I thought maybe first of all with the violin,
we'd violin up with the imitation of listening to [Ab] the Mockingbird.
Here we go.

Ah, I just barely made it.
Folks, I'll bet many of you in the audience have heard an imitation of two banjos at [Eb] some time or another
and wondered how the trick is done.
Really very easy.
Anybody can do it.
You just watch.
It's all done with the right hand, so keep your eye on it.
First of all, we start in with a waltz beat, something like this.
[Ab]
Now, all we do to give an imitation of two banjos is to add the tremolo to the same right hand,
something like this.
[Eb]
[Ab] Isn't that simple?
That's all there is to it, [Abm] folks.
Anybody can do it.
Now, maybe we'll try our luck with, ah,
when I grow too old to read, everybody knows that tune.
First, if anyone can manage [Ab] it with time.
