I don’t know how late you pickers stayed up, but the live Forum Hangout was kinda fun! It took me a while to get the tech stuff figured out (in the Old Geezer style), but after that it was a ball!
One thing that was a small disappointment: The typed text messages from Archie & others appeared on my iPad screen but didn’t last long enough for me to squint & read them. Consequently, I could not properly respond in a timely fashion. It was good knowing they were on hand, though.
And I noticed that, compared to the rest of you pickers, I don’t own enough instruments!
As a Beginner, those are my Expert observations.
That Was Fun

If you can’t impress with quality, go for quantity.

It was nice to see you, @BanJoe! You can scroll to the side on an iPad and click the chat and leave it open/read all the messages in detail.

Thanks for coming!! It was a ton of fun to get to interact in real time!
I feel like most folks signed off around 9:30 or so, but @oaklymaple and I were up till after midnight talking about biblical archeology (by we I mean mainly him, I am not knowledgeable enough to properly discuss, but he was cool).

I didn’t know they had a live chat? When is the next one scheduled?
It’s not really a scheduled thing. It was more of a “Hey, let’s try it!”. There has been loose talk of doing another, but just like banjo practice, life tends to get in the way.
