Remember stay at least 6 feet from a banjo player———at all times.
That is easy. But when he leaves his instrument on a chair and it falls over - resisting the urge to catch it takes practise.
That leads to the question if it is still advisable to give your instrument to somebody else in the jam or session for trying out.
Been trying to get some social distancing myself by going out on my fast mountain hikes.
I’m exercising the old heart and lungs, nothing better to do.
Trouble is, the mountain trails are now packed with loads people all with the same idea, they don’t even want to ride in cars anymore.
They’re all chatting and laughing, everyone saying hello, and wishing me a pleasant day!
What is wrong with these people?! :))
-next thing, with all their free time they’ll be wanting to learn to play banjo!
Hard times.
Take up the pipes - bagpipes, Uilleann pipes, or Swedish sackpipa. You will be socially distanced and isolated. At least until you learn them.
Or Northumbrian too.
Social distancing has never been a problem for me . . . because when you're ugly, not-too-smart and have no money, nobody wants to hang out with you to begin with!
very effective indeed

...and don't laugh, he has a banjo as well.
You guys are a tough group. However I know now that there is a reason my only contact with most of you is through the internet. :whistling:
Play Wagon Wheel and Salt Spring on a continuous loop......you’ll be all alone in a matter of minutes
Wagon Wheel is one of the few songs I truly dislike, that and that Carlos Santana tune (smooth?) over exposure can kill a song for me.
Did you notice that the uilleann pipes player in the video had a banjo leaning next to him, and an accordion on top of the piano? Betcha he's got a bodhran and a set of spoons stashed somewhere -- all the tools needed to alienate everyone within earshot...
I have to be nice to people at work. At home, I prefer to be left alone to do my own things. I don't particularly dislike people, but I am a loner by nature. Social distancing is no problem for me.
Thanks for ullein pipes player vid... I admire his.. is it stubbornness, or just blind optimism?
I haven’t laughed like that in a while. I think I just peed a little. :))
There are plenty of ways of keeping oneself socially distant, making use of all that TP AND protecting oneself

I don't intend to alter my social interaction as I have practiced for 73 years.
Arms length at minimum has been my "social distancing".. now happily increased.
Solitude is my preferred contact with the world at large.
My completely fenced 11 1/2 acres now seems too small.
I very much enjoy the sound of sakpipa ( particularly the original tuning of Eb.) and do own Scots made GHB dated around 1915-1920.
I'm in the middle of 60 acres, 5 miles from the closest settlement. Two miles from my closest neighbor. I sympathsize with urban folk.
