Banjo check in

I can totally play six songs now. Six whole songs. Practically fluidly. Still a little bit slow, but I kinda like the drawl of them slow. Some I can even play at a speed neighboring fastness.

Here is my usual practicing playlist:
1. Fireball Mail
2. Cripple Creek
3. Down the Road
4. Salt Creek
5. Groundspeed
6. Kansas City Railroad Blues

How great is it that most of the songs talk either about creeks or trains?? (Fireball Mail is about trains and Groundspeed probably would be about trains if it had words). You should just hear Don Reno and Red Smiley playing Kansas City Railroad Blues. The fiddle sounds just like a train whistle. And the banjo is like the train clickety clack.

Happiness.
