Yesterday, I hugged a friend’s therapy dog because it was supposedly hypoallergenic. Welll – not so much, unfortunately. At 2am, still waiting for the reaction to die down and for Auntie Histamine to kick into gear, I found myself watching tutorials on my iPhone – on how to make origami Easter bunnies that have a basket area large enough to hold a hard boiled egg. Yep, that’s how I spend my time, folks. I am clearly an asset to this planet 🙂 But truly, origami is an amazing art form. Check out Origami Spirit
On another note – pun intended – I had my first clawhammer banjo lesson today with my new teacher, Curt Alsobrook. He is awesome! I have about 6 months of group and private classes under my belt? fingers? in the past, but got derailed with the chronic pain years, so here we go again.
And I just have to sing it again, “Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee – because I really do!!!”
Check out Curt’s “wicked good” playing here:

Good on you taking music lessons! My husband plays banjo (five string) and when he gigs he always manages to get people up on their feet or tapping their knees. Love to know how those lessons are going 😉
Yay for banjos!! I’m doing clawhammer style. I imagine your husband is doing bluegrass picking?
Yes, bluegrass – more about banjo in my pen pal letter (it’s in the post :))
Woop woop, strum strum!!
