Banjo Personal Challenge


It is past mid-March in my Person Challenge to practice playing banjo.
I am not good, but I am "ugly better."
I don't know many chords, but I know some chords.
I still only know "Tom Dooley."

But this morning I wrote a tiny four-chord song.
It is not a happy song.
But it is about the few "happy" things one might see on TV news.
It is a real song.

No, I am not going to share the words.
Not yet, anyway.

"Ring! Ring!" - the phone.

Time to quit typing about banjo stuff.
I've just committed to sending two new paintings to a gallery.

The stress of getting to do what you love for a living is oddly real.

Back to work.
Patience, banjo. I'll be back.
