Wow. It was in the 30s INSIDE here this morning. My hooch is like a tent, but a bit bigger/draftier lol. Yeah it's a trailer but with its corrugated-steel roof and various patches, well .... if anyone tried to "trail" this anywhere it'd fall apart. So anyway there's no shortage of fresh air (and I've learned to LOVE fresh air!) and it gets cold inside when it's a freeze outside. So, no jumping out of bed and playing, gotta wait for it to warm up so the fingers can move.
I read the first part of the "for the clawless" book and wow, I think I chose just the right book for me. Good old Mel Bay, they don't publish junque.
I have no idea if I'll end up using those picks, or clawhammer or what. But as a beginner I'd just as soon use the ol' fingers so .... simple banjo, simpler playing for a simple person I guess.
So: I want to get through a few pages in the book, and also learn some chords and work out the lyrics to this song I made up, "Away In A Manger" with Jesus being a freight-riding hobo (lol!)
