A while back there was a thread that was sort of negative regarding Taylor Swift, because of her 6 string banjo, and the fact that she usually just holds it rather than actually playing it.
Well, we might be seeing the benefits of Taylor Swift right now..on this board.
I'm referring to this Joleen Mcnulty girl. She said in one of her videos that she bought a banjo(and she is PLAYING it) because she thought that banjos "are so cool and awesome"
I would venture to say that if there were no Taylor Swift, little Jolene would not think that banjos are "cool and awesome". And if Jolene McNulty is playing banjo because of Swift, its a guarantee that there are a whole lot more young people who suddenly are deciding to take up the banjo,,rather than acoustic guitars.
So I say, Thank you, to Taylor and Jolene! Keep on keepin on!
