Unrequited Luv

I can not play the banjo when my DH is sleeping before he goes to work. I only get very small snippets of time to practice. (Well, Flylady says that 15 minutes of something is better than nothing, anyway. She calls it a "lick at a snake," and I guess I'm practicing musical licks.)

My fingers are having a hard time pressing down on the strings in the new (for me) chord positions hard enough for chords to sound bright on all the strings.

So when I was gnashing my teeth at how the sounds coming from my banjo were not as - musical - as I would like, my DH had to remind me that I've only had it for a week and a half.

But like the guitar, I can actually play melody lines fairly easily on the banjo. I want to play now, but the kids are in bed. *sigh*

I'd absolutely LOVE that! Thank you! (Happy skippy Snoopy dance of joy!)

And I think you are one of the few friends I have locally who will really appreciate my grandfather's banjo, and why it's so precious to me, because of your love of the music.
