I inherited a Mansfield 5 String Banjo that my sister lost interest in when the fifth string peg began to slip. She had a guitar by then and ignored the Banjo for years. I got tired of being the only non playing member in the family and fixed the peg and started to play about twelve years ago. I got so that I could play a number of Bluegrass tunes fairly well and then my Daughter was born nine years ago followed 15 months later by my son. Chasing the two of them around gave me little time to play, so I have ignored it for a long time, but I am going to visit relatives at the end of the month, all of whom are players. So, with the children becoming more independant, I'm going to get the old fiver out and get practising so that I can play music as opposed to just listening. I also want to get a bass.
