Understanding the Banjo

Some of you might've been reading this blog with me and wondering why do I care so much about the banjo? Why is this important enough to merit writing about? I love the banjo because It creates music. It creates music that some people don't understand. It can be happy or very sad. It can be extremely complex or amazingly simple. It can be a solo instrument or background. The banjo exemplifies everything that music can be, should be, or could be. The banjo is music and music is my life. That is why I love the banjo.
