Edna: When I was a girl growing up in Kansas, barn dances were a regular occurrence here in Jericho. Oh, how I would admire those banjo players with their nimble fingers and toe-tapping tunes! I longed to learn the banjo, but Mama put her foot down. It just wasn't the thing then for a young lady to learn to play such an instrument; although Mama and Daddy both valued musical talent, they felt that young girls should sing or play the piano if they wanted to pursue musical interests. I was good at neither, unfortunately.
I left those dreams behind as I got older, but I recently discovered some wonderful banjo-playing videos on YouTube. Take a listen, and if this doesn't bring a smile to your face, then I don't think anything will.
