The BRC Board of Directors has mandated that every June 13th, starting in 2012, will hereafter be known as International Banjo Wife`s Day in recognition of the courageous patience of those legions of saintly women married to banjo playing husbands. Attached is a photo of the 2012 poster-girl competition winner who has endured 40 years of marriage to a banjo player with as many as 14 banjos in her house.
She is pictured donning a desert safari hat as she readies to enter the deeply tunneled crypt of King Tut in Egypt`s stony Valley of the Kings where she prays no banjos will be among the treasures therein. To salute the untold virtues of banjo wives, all banjo husbands will still their instruments in a respectful moment of silence worldwide from 4:00-4:01 am Greenwich Time on this date annually.
As illustrated, wives may apply a loving headlock to husbands as a gentle reminder of this yearly observance. On June 14th, there will be a smaller, but no less important, celebration on behalf of those heroic men whose wives play the banjo.
