Grueling Banjos

I started lessons last night at Arthur's Music in Fountain Square. My instructor taught a harmonica lesson before me and a violin lesson after me; he prefers teaching banjo, though, and has been teaching since 1970.

I learned three chords: G (easy); C (need to trim my fingernails) and D7 (need to grow longer fingers). I'd actually cut back my nails before I went, and Paul, my instructor, said, "Those are trimmed nails?" Damned music teacher.

Later, I practiced my chords at home while Matt reviewed a contract: opposites do attract. He kept looking up, giggling, saying, "Sounds good, honey...I love it."
