Beginning the banjo oddysey

Beth brought home a banjo yesterday on a whim. Nobody really knows what to do with this thing yet. The kids are fascinated. The way they've been handling it reminds me a little of the cavemen in the opening sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey. So far it's not music but who knows what will evolve...or over how long a period of time. In the meantime, our house is suddenly cacophonous.
