I'm in my 30s and over the last few weeks more and more people I know are having operations or getting even worse news about their health. Touch wood I haven't needed medical advice/ help for 2 decades. But it does hit home how short life is.


To that end, much to the annoyance of my wife, and because I've always wanted one since I was a kid, a Banjolele is going to arrive in an hour or so.


So I think I better get a book on George Formbys greatest hits!

  , well go for it and yes, you are spot on, I had anaphylactic shock from antibiotics for a mild infection...so yes a reality check but I just bought a new pair of PJ's...and some toiletries, just in case.....ummmmm , maybe I should get a banjo too

[Dan]

Haha, excellent! Can we have some recordings please once you get started?

Deliverance - Banjo Duel
 
Just had too

[darkbrowneggs]

I think its a brilliant idea.  Go for it, and yes some recordings would be good 

[Small Farmer]

Yes.  Don't leave until tomorrow that which you won't be able to do tomorrow.  OH has bought me a piano for my 60th: haven't played one since I got to grade 7 at 16 so am utter crap at it but happy

[escapedtothecountry]

I forgot to add I have never played an instrument in my life..... Those recordings may not be such a good idea... Yet haha

[happygolucky]

.........we can wait...........................not sure  how long but I am sure its going to be worth it

Could have been worse - could have been a tuba

Sure are, but there's been a lot of heartache to get there
