I read an interview by Steve Martin where he said that before deciding to get real serious and cut an album with his banjo, he bought a banjo and put it in every room in his house, on a stand that was easily accessible. That way he wouldn’t feel like it was a hassle to go into the other room, or dig one out of a case in a closet, but he could always just reach over and grab a banjo to practice.
Sounds like your getting ready to cut a record.
