Some of you saw my other post introducing myself.  I decided to go with the Deering Goodtime Classic because of the $399 price that I couldn't pass up.  Like the price of the regular Goodtime and I wanted the darker color.  But it won't arrive until February!!  And since I was far too antsy to get a banjo in my hands and start learning basics, I was able to find one I could borrow from a friend!  So it is officially my first day with a banjo and I am very excited.  I don't really know what type of banjo this one I am borrowing is but it looks pretty old and has a plastic head, but I am extremely grateful to have a banjo in hand.  I have been working on my bum dity.  This will be a long road but an exciting one!  I know I will be coming here a lot.  I have the rocket science book, the two patrick costello books, and have been poking around at videos online.  I am worried about the tendonitis in my right arm/wrist getting bad again so I am trying to play only a little at a time and I know I will be sore regardless since it IS my first day and it will take time for my muscles to get used to playing.  I will be coming here a lot and I always appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
