You are my Sunshine

This seems like an appropriate tune right now.  It's been raining nearly every day at three o' clock for the past two weeks.  Longest.  Spring.  Ever.  There is almost too much green. Apparently, there is a thing as "too much banjo."  Somehow I've sprained my index finger, probably from "over picking."  It's sore and a little bit swollen.  I'm going to try and not use it for a couple of days and see if it gets better. "You are my Sunshine"

Long time no Blog

Dear Blog, Sorry it's been so long since I've rapped at ya... Well I was hoping to be able to post a new song this morning. I'm almost done with it but I ran out of time before work.(I was even late this morning.) I've got a couple tunes in the hopper right now so it won't be long before the record drops, so to speak. I finally made an appointment with Woodsongs to get my banjo properly set up. They're going to do it while I'm at work this Tuesday. I'll get it back the same day so I won't miss out on any cruisal pickin' time. I'd like to learn how to do the adjustments myself at some point, but I just want it done right, right now. There are a ton of adjustable parts on a banjo. Practice wise, I've been working on some Scruggs stuff. Two tunes and a bag o' licks. Of course, I'm still fiddlin' with Sailor's Hornpipe. I can play it fast and I can play it clean, but I can't play it fast and clean... yet.
