hi, i would like to introduce myself.
i'm Francesca from florence, italy. I am a rock singer and after many years playing with local bands i finally decided to start playing an instrument, everybody suggest me to start with the guitar, but i got fascinated about the sound of the banjo, so i got myself one about i month ago...and here i am...
i got myself few books (the how and tao of old time banjo, a book of five string, banjo for dummies and old time mountain banjo) and few dvd, and i started with happy traum's five string banjo for beginners. i was a bit afraid at the beginning that i might get fed up after a while, i'm not a very consistent person, but what i keep on telling myself is " why didn' t i started before????" i'm enjoying the time i spend with my banjo sooooo much!!! i can play the same tune for hours (my boyfriend already hates me, but i don't care...) the sound man!!! THE SOUND...oh man.....i love it!!!!
anyways...nice to meet you
