Speaking as a banjo player myself, I can tell you the spray doesn't work.
Happily, a few of us play Dobro too. We just don't talk about it because
everyone knows there aren't any offensive jokes you can tell about Dobro
players.
Well, at least in mixed company...
;b
Seriously, I play in 3 to 4 jams a week, the numbers you speak of are pretty
common. I have taken to playing Dobro most of the time when there are other
banjo players around... It takes the pressure off of the rest of the
musicians,
there's one less banjo player to try to think of jokes about.
I'm not as good on Dobro yet, but it is actually more fun to play Dobro because
I can watch the pained look on everyone else's face when I play, and then tell
them that's just what a Dobro sounds like.
Best,
