I hope not, 'cause if you are then I am! I am 48 with no musical background at all, and you don't want to hear me sing! I do stories and ballads to a rhythm. I struggled with the Banjo for years. With some encouragement from members here and others I picked up the Mountain Dulcimer, learned to play it right off well enough to keep me interested. Now I gots me a Banjo to get rid of! :-)
