    My grandfather played the piano, the banjo, and the "banjolin" (look it up!). What kills me is that I never asked him to teach me how to play. I have his banjo and banjolin, both made in the early 1920's and in reasonably good shape, but cannot play. It kills me to see the ease with which Josh plays and know that I let that ability slide past me. But I do love listening to Josh and friends ever so much, and love this rendition!

    Love the camera: continuous, starting subtle, getting more invested the longer it goes.
    Always underlining: yes, this is all from one take; we did it until we had a good one! You’re welcome.
    Makes me feel invited.

    I bought myself a guitar a couple of months back. It's faulty. It doesn't have this level of pazzazz. I'm taking it back!🎸
