Don't know about the trampoline, but Rhasan Roland Kirk use to make great music with a nose flute, his voice, and two saxes, all at the same time. With that kind of musical coordination, he would have made a great pedal steel player. I once saw him tear up a metal folding chair while still playing through the entire song. And he was blind on top of that, so he had to grope around for the pieces of the chair.

I don't like bluegrass, but I do like clawhammer style banjo. I have an old Lp called Melodic Clawhammer Banjo that contains some lovely music.

There's nothing like the sound of a banjo played with a clawhammer!
