Thanks for the kind words! I am a couple months in and have already hit a few plateaus. There is an amazing amount of stuff to learn on banjo. When I did alternating thumb stuff on guitar, I think the initial curve was tougher for me, but once I got the basics in a few keys, things really took off. It seemed like most things were variation on a theme. With banjo, it seems I keep finding things that are tough. It’s a fun journey though!
I have one from when I was a kid. My cats leave when they see me get it out
