From kalstras on 5/5/2014 9:05:01 AM

Hiya, I'm a'Mercan expat and live with my wife, her father, and 3 German Shepherd Dogs in the south of England and have been playing banjo since March 2014 and am really enjoying myself, I am not musically trained and at 50, I just wanted to try.

I'm looking forward to learning (and playing live someday)

Thanks for including me in this group :)

	Banjules says: 5/6/2014 3:29:20 PM Hi Kal, welcome onboard you'll find lots of like minded people here and any amount of good advice, you just have to ask. I've only been playing since October last year but have picked up some good advice hear. What is it with us 50+ people. I'd reckon over half the people I've met on here are in they're 50's, me included. must be some kind of mid-life crisis!! Good luck with the Jo,
