Today was the first day this year when it was warm enough here in Louisville for me to take my banjo out at lunch to play/practice. Sixty-five degrees and partly sunny. I usually go to the Belvedere next to the Galt House and find an out-of-the-way spot. Today I decided to sit on a bench at a trolley stop on Main Street. There was frequent traffic noise, but I was playing more for myself than anyone else anyway.
The day was so pleasant that lots of folks were outside at lunch time.
I got a chance to practice 3 tunes in open D tuning that I have learned: Chris Coole's 'Copper Run', Paul Brown's 'Last Cold Whiskey' and 'Peachbottom Creek'. I need to learn a few more tunes in this tuning so I will use it more.
I'm looking forward to more days like this.

Ain't it fun? I do the same when I get a long lunch on Mondays.
I have some backup tracks on a CD, I go to my church parking lot nearby, and open the car doors, and pick with the midi tracks!
