That's hilarious!
I was in a little informal bluegrass ensemble on the ship back in
1999-2000. I haven't picked up a banjo in so long, I probably couldn't
even play a single chord. There's always time to re-learn though...
I really did like that instrument.
I attempted to learn the mandolin as well, but the string tension was
just so high that it killed my fingertips. Guess I didn't practice
enough. The mandolin is probably my favorite stringed instrument.
