Great topic! I also feel some people put a super high expectation on themselves in the way of wanting to do too much too soon. I was shown a basic frailing right hand pattern and wore out Shortening Bread until my wife wanted to jump off a cliff. I also never want to sound exactly like any of the Banjo Gods. I am very pleased to figure a tune out to my liking and if an observer is tapping a foot or smiling, it is very rewarding. When asked, how long have you been playing a Banjo? All I can say is, I have owned a banjo for 46 years. Playing off and on never punching a time clock. Also kept my day job. The fact of not knowing where the finish was a great point you made me aware of. It is very true, for I never have known where it was. Learning to never give up in life has kept me going. The Banjo is another relaxing and pleasant escape in life. You always have great motivational pep talks, thanks for what you do.
