Friday Meanderings

I’m off to Banjo Camp today.  “A Few Days in Banjo Paradise”

This is also the weekend that all the mermaids go to Cedar Key for the Art Festival.  It is a long standing tradition.  We stay at Mermaid Landings.  Eat a lot. Drink a lot. Laugh a lot.  

Okay, I’m not actually a mermaid but the lovely mermaids that formerly swam at Weeki Wachee allow me to hang out with them.

And I decided to throw my mermaid friends over and go to Banjo Camp.  Suwannee Banjo Camp.  In Live Oak.

Terry and I changed out the banjo strings Sunday.  And broke the banjo.

OMG1 5th string peg DOWN!

Was this a sign from the mermaid goddesses that I should be with the mermaids?

After much research and emailing my banjo mentor numerous times, we fixed it.

Happy Banjo

Sorry mermaid goddesses.  Gotta go.  New banjo friends await!

In other news….

Nothing much going on in Citrus County because I won’t be here to cover it!  

Well, other than Sarasota Slim will be at The Shed at MacRae’s on Sunday at 2 pm.  Might be back in time for that!

Have a great weekend!
