When I thought I was playing well

From pluckyfingers on 2/3/2011 7:24:13 PM

Hi everyone, I understand your pain and suffering. The other day, round 10:00 am or so I was playing on the back porch for about an hour or so and really thought my clawhammer playing was reaching new heights of acoustic strength and clarity on the Goodtime when half way through what I thought was an abnormally outstanding version of Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine, came this piercing yell of ENOUGH!!! Needless to say I got the message and hightailed it off the porch like a dog with its tail between it's legs and took my Goodtime and bruised ego to the furtherest corner of the yard I could find if I was to be fed that day. Needless to say my playing never really reached the dizzy heights that it had earlier, so now the door is shut and the just about half my sock drawer lives in the back of my banjos.

That's my life everyday. If I even pick it up i get a lecture on how she is going to kill herself if she has to spend the rest of her life listening to banjo. Its a good thing shes prettier then my banjo :)
