I’ve played banjo ( for my own pleasure ) for about 10 years. I retired last year, have more time for it, and started attending jams.
What’s interesting is that many of the best musicians play multiple instruments. The incremental effort to pick up a new instrument must be fairly small. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve met that play great guitar, standup bass, and fiddle. ( Banjo and mandolin seem just a little less likely to be included. )
I hope I get there some day! It looks fun to put down one instrument, pick up another and continue ripping.
I'd liken playing multiple instruments to coding in multiple languages. There's a baseline understanding of the fundamentals that is necessary to overcome in the beginning, but once you get confident with them they transfer across multiple instruments/languages.
It’s that sort of behavior— groups of perpetrators committing crimes— that allow people to justify enhanced surveillance tactics.
I think in years past people would have objected to sale of personal location data. But that was before people had videos of groups of lawbreakers overwhelming laws through organized efforts.
I grew up in South Dakota and had a friend that left a colony. He had a driving interest in all things mechanical, and loved nothing more than to ride a motorcycle on gravel, spinning the rear wheel. His attitude towards life was very matter-of-fact, and he was a very hard worker. Great guy, I’d like to talk with him again some day.
Sedentary adults showed dramatically accelerated biological aging across all abnormal sleep durations. Those sleeping fewer than 6 hours and without regular exercise had a phenotypic age nearly 3.3 years older than their well-rested peers.
