getting to know Sea Monkey

Getting to know all abouuuuuut hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim! Ahem.

Following a beastly, bedtime, I did finally get some banjo time. All my picks are reasonably comfortable, and I've mastered the slo-motion version of the alternate thumb roll. I have no songs to use the forward roll on yet, but maybe today I'll get to turn the page. I can pick "Shortnin' Bread" and "Cripple Creek" (simplified versions, of course) but "Goodnight Ladies" kicked my ass. I get my thumb caught up on the fourth string sometimes, but I'm not doing too badly. At least I finally got to where I was remembering to anchor my right hand to the head after an hour. Playing the uke kinda ruined me there--I kept trying to pick on the frets.
