I don’t know if this is the right place to post this, but I saw somebody did the same, so I said: “Why not?”
Soooo, hey guys, I just wanted you to know that I’m new here, and I like playing the banjo and reading philosophy books
Hey everybody!

Welcome, @sandi.bike1! I, too, enjoy playing the banjo. Gotta admit I haven’t read many philosophy books lately…

Hello @sandi.bike1, welcome to the forum! No banjo here but maybe on philosophy discussions.

Welcome to the Forum! Steve Martin once observed that banjo players tend to be very smart people. Who am I to argue with him? Although I myself am just a Beginner, I have discovered playing the banjo is the ultimate in philosophy. You’ll encounter questions such as:
“If God really did make everything, why did he make mosquitoes or banjos?”
“Why did I ever start playing this stupid thing anyway!” (A FAQ when one’s fingers do not do what one desires.)
"“If musicians are supposed to be sensitive, how can banjo players ignore all those jokes?”
“Are banjo players musicians?”
“Do you know that song from the movie?”
Yes, your philosophical journey, paired with a banjo, holds great promise to bring you sublime enlightenment. As G.K. Chesterton observed, “Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.”
All it takes is practice.

Hello @sandi.bike1. Welcome! I’m only a few months old here on the forum myself but I’ve found it a very helpful and friendly place. It has definitely increased the speed and joy with which I learn. What philosophers are you reading currently? Classical greek? Modern? Postmodern? Existential or Nihilistic?

Hi @sandi.bike1! There are no lack of banjo philosophers on the forum, even if they don’t like to use that label. A rose by any other name is still a rose…but beware of the thorns! (just kidding). Welcome to the forum!
