A glorious day
February 8, 2009
Bleak February gave way to 60° weather in Crisfield. I went out at sunset in my shirtsleeves and reveled in this rare break from the winter blues. A truly glorious day.

Beatle Banjo
February 8, 2009
Not that Beatles banjo. Steve in Ohio on frailing a Beatles tune:
Hi Patrick,
I took the idea in your quarter note thumb lesson, tuned the 5th down
to F, and modified how I was playing that riff between verses. The vox
didn’t turn out so great, but I enjoyed playing that song on the banjo
regardless. (If the frailing looks awkward, I trimmed that middle
finger down too much and realized my index nail had more strength at
the shorter length.)
