Resurrection may not be as you imagined.......
My little ole' banjo-pickin' 1/6 skeleton. He actually moves and plays "Wish I was in Dixie"!

I must admit, this pic instantly brought a song to mind for me, as well, but... I can't post the title, because it is in no way, shape, or form even remotely politically correct these days... or possibly in any day... although things were different back in 1906.

Ah yes, ....back in the days the instrument was referred to by the delicate term of a "gut-bucket"! Great links!

Now Dave, even I wasn't born as of 1906, so I am a little in the dark as to what song you are referring to. I DO know of a wildly popular musical genre in the late 1800's and early 1900's that was known....and you'll understand I have to tread carefully here, ...by the common abbreviation you folks in the USA use for one of your "masked" native animals of the Procyonidae genus. Of course back then times were different and the term passed without issue. Most of the singers were women, (Sophie Tucker, Mae West etc.) Wikipedia has the genre listed and many of the popular songs using the historically correct term too. I'm guessing it must be one of those songs. The titles alone certainly would cause outrage today.
Anyway, my little skeletal friend plays a decidedly Southern style "Dixie". I was going to post a movie with sound but every time I set him off, his vigorous banjo-pickin' actions caused everything else in the set up to fall over!

Thank you for providing me with a reasonably safe euphemism:
Ghost of the Banjo Procyonidae
