A couple years ago, I started messing with the banjo again after I stumbled across a clawhammer instructional book at the library.
Two christmases ago, I got good enough to play a couple songs at speed during our short lived stint in the never ending remodel house.
Our girl is a dancer, and given just about any source of music, she’ll dance like noone is watching. Another christmas passes by and now I’ve got a boy, and he smiles whenever I break out the banjo.
I wonder when this window will close. When she’s too old to dance for papa, and when he gets tired of the same few licks the old man has figured out to clumsily bang out.
Or maybe I’ll be able to get them to join along. Asian parents always foist music on their children, why not bluegrass instead of classical?
