Have I mentioned on the blog yet that I’m taking banjo lessons? It’s been about three weeks, and Wednesdays are now Erin May Banjo Day.

 

(My neighbors may be less than thrilled.)

Yesterday, I was able to go out to Happy Valley and have an impromptu jam session with my parents- who were very patient in keeping a slow pace to match my current banjo chops. Playing with them and trying to keep up has been the best practice session so far- it’s nice when you’re learning to feel like you are also somehow managing to play recognizable music!
