Not to pry, Little Neo, but what kind of situation could you be in in the Northern Woods where the banjo wouldn't be appropriate? There is a lot of space up there! I don't mean to joke -- I have begun to wrestle with the implications of inflicting my practicing on friends of mine in similar situations later in the summer. I have basically assumed that they would be amused, and slowly be sucked in to singing some songs, and eventually learning some. But maybe I should think about being more circumspect -- certainly if there was a funeral in the offing.
Was it fear of bears? They are attracted to banjos you know....(joke)
yours, Peter T.
