Coyote, Damn! How'd you guess???

True story from a truly excellent old time fiddler friend. He says he was unable to get a sound from the fiddle he was not completely ashamed of until he had been playing for two years. At one point during this two year period he was so depressed by his lack of progress on the fiddle that he decided he would start learning old time banjo as well. He was hoping to make faster progress on the banjo and boost his confidence. He says he was fully aware of the irony of learning to play banjo to improve his self-esteem.
