A banjo is…
Envisioned
Created
Marketed
Found to be a source of inspiration
Bought
Cherished
Played
Played a little less
Stored suddenly
Found suddenly
Treasured and played again
surprisingly, stored
Rediscovered by same, played
Reluctantly stored
Languished
Sold
Played, enthusiastically
Played less
Played even less
Sold again, even cheaper
Modified, with disaster
Given up on
Sold in a garage sale
Stored broken
Found to be taking up too much space
Trashed unceremoniously
Long after and occasionally, remembered by someone

About Pgibson
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown.
I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles.
I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.
