After spending a long week poring over photos and text devoted to fretted instruments how do I spend my weekend? Why, playing said fretted instruments, of course. Every year my friends Lee and Sherry have a spring party where playing banjo, uke, guitar, mandolin or just about any fretted instrument is compulsory. This year I brought my camera and managed to get few shots of some of the goodies. Do any of you have photos of your picking parties? If so, we’d love to see them. You send your photos to us here.
