I have many hobbies. I love to cook, garden, and sew. As a child I played the Flute in school band. Playing meant so much to me. It was not easy for my family to afford the instrument. It was very special for me to have that instrument, and I still have it today. Buying my Banjo was a big decision. It is an important part of my life, and I have made a commitment to taking classes with Dave, and coming to class weekly. It has added something to my life. I have met new people, and feel a sense of pride each time I learn something new. Kind of like being a kid again and it has caused my children to talk more about Mommy's music and her Banjo. The Banjo is so lighthearted, and fun it helps drain life's stresses away. My banjo has added quite alot to my life. What about yours?
