I’ve tried and failed several times to master them rolls. Maybe 2025 will be my year. I have this fantasy that acquiring new hand-brain skills will ward off dementia, or at least make it more fun.
I think pickers find that their fingers are overqualified for the frozen hand of clawhammer. 🪕
Here’s hoping more banjo for us both, and all others who neglect the easiest instrument there is to play badly but happily. That’s true of every playing style, I find.
Remember the old wisdom: if you practice at the banjo a lot, eventually you might get good enough that someone would pay you to play it. But no matter how good you get, your roommate will always pay you to stop.

I have totally fallen out of the habit of playing/practicing. Maybe 2025 will be the year I find more balance in my life!
