Do I need a banjo?

You can tell I’m getting better if I can think about something other than my hip!

Or maybe not if what I’m thinking about is a banjo. Do I need one? I already own three guitars, two mandolins, at least three ukuleles, but no banjo. None. Not even one. I don’t even own one of those little pins you can buy and stick on hats or whatever to show what instrument you play. Okay, I don’t own any of those for the instruments I do play either.

But why a banjo? Admittedly I haven’t mastered any of the instruments I already own. I can play them enjoyably, but certainly well by any means. Although, from an amateur philosophic point of view, if I enjoy playing them, I’m doing well.

I don’t really have an answer for the question other than to say I just sort of want one. Sigh. I guess it’s good I want something like that instead of a new car. I mean I could certainly buy a banjo as expensive as a car, but they one I’m thinking of is a beginner sort running around $400.

I can get one of these locally, which is preferable, especially for musical instruments as I can try it first (or try it again really).

Can I resist? Should I? Will shopping help my hip? Argh!!!

Aloha!
