I bought this beauty (well not this EXACT beauty, but one just like it) on Craigslist a few weeks ago, and I love, love, love it!!!! Learning how to play the banjo has always been on my lifetime to-do list, and I’m so glad that I decided to just go for it when I found the good deal online! First things first, I already tackled The Swimming Song. Now I’m working my way through that Pete Seeger book and slowly but surely getting the basics down. It’s a really nice change from guitar, and it’s great to have a new hobby!

Oh hurrah! I’m glad The Swimming Song was the first you learned. I recently made the bold move to buy it off iTunes for 99 cents, and let me tell you, i have been getting my money’s worth.
I can’t wait to hear you play! (With Steve Martin!)
Oh my gosh, yay!! I bet you sound stellar! I’ve been learning the ukulele this year, and it feels so good to be playing music! I say we get a back porch band going someday!
Miss you and hope you’re doing well!
Oh! P.S. I deleted my old blog on accident
poo. So my new blog is blazebratcher.wordpress.com!
xoxo!
i *love* the swimming song. i would pay a ridiculous amount of money for someone to play that song for me! one of my all-time faves.
once, i bought a banjo for a boy i liked. but i did it in secret, so he never knew it was me. and then years later, long after i liked him and then didn’t, and then hadn’t seen him in ages, i saw it hanging on his wall, and he said it was the best gift ever.
