^^^ As a banjo picker, I agree. I have run into so many people who are almost militant in their opposition to the banjo! It's funny how many people refuse to understand the complexity of bluegrass, and don't believe the skill of the musicians that make it sound so easy.

If ya don't believe me, try scrubbin' off a lighning fast passage with 2 or 3 different rolls, with slides, pull-offs, hammer-ons, and pinch chords and make it all sound smooth and easy.

One of the items on my bucket list is to just once rise to the level of a Ralph Stanley, or Earl Scruggs. I figure if it does happen, I will have lived a very long life!
