Amanda's original posts on July 22 arrived with a striking synchronicity. The night before, I had dreamt that I was playing a 5-string banjo, actually practicing a 2-finger picking style and thumbing the 5th drone string, working on getting the timing and rhythm right so the drone could be in steady time, while the fingers picked the melody lines. Scruggs pioneered the 3-finger picking style that bears his name - "Scruggs picking." I played the banjo in high school folk music days. My banjo was stolen years ago, so I haven't played in a long time, but it has been popping into my mind to go get a cheap one and start up again.
