2nd Place

[JR]

Got back about a hour ago. It has been years since Patty and I had so much fun. There was 80 pickers there. The old boy that beat me out was the best I have ever herd pick a Banjo. He is 82 and blind. He can make a Banjo talk. He did tell me I made him work for it. I think he was just being nice. In 5 or 6 weeks I will have a video and will post it

And They called him Pops. I had been watching him both days. I beat him on Saturday. He was holding back. I thought I had this in the bag. When it came down to us at the end. I got to go first and tore it up. He got up and went old school on me. He started picking Claw hammer style on me. We played 3 Tunes each. He killed me. I was like dam he can pick. 1st place went to the best man. We both were asked to come back next year. I will be ready for him next year.

At a boy JR!  Sounds like the old boy is quite the character, and a good time was had by all.  Can't wait for the video.  Nothing can soothe the soul like some kick ass pickin'

It's not winning or losing that matters. it's that you guys had fun.

You didn't do too bad if you came in second, dude!  Especially to an 82 YO!  He's had a hell of a lot more time to practice!!!!!
Congrat on the second place and congrats on getting the return invitation and congrats on having a great weekend!!!
