This may turn out to be a bunch of randomness, let's see......
Went to swing dancing last night with Katy, Jonathan, and Sarah, we went over a year ago and decided to go again, i think it will be a weekly thing which would be fun.

Since December 1 these are the songs I've learned on banjo:
Whiskey Before Breakfast
I've been more involved with banjo hangout lately I've created two tabs and submitted them, I've been playing banjo since 2003, I think I can change my profile from "novice" to "purty good"
Today I went to countrytabs.com to look at a John Hartford song, spent 5 minutes looking for my password to login, then found out that the tab was incorrect. Then I found out that I could NOT right click or copy and paste the tab so I could make it better. I disabled javascript on the page, turns out the tab is a .jpg image, which I saved to my computer. I didn't feel like typing in the words so I uploaded it to a free online OCR service. I copied the resulting text into LibreOffice and switched it to Courier New to so that letter spacing will remain equal. Then I sat down and tabbed out the chords myself, when I was done I went to Ultimate-Guitar.com and submitted the tab so that many other people can benefit from it. They will also be able to right click and copy it how ever they want to and even change keys. They also won't need to log in to see it. All this made me realize I have a wealth of John Hartford songs with chords that I should put on there.
I've rediscovered Bob Black as a banjo player
The Session is pretty great for fiddle tunes that I can then turn into banjo tunes
That's about all I have in my brain right now
Actually, one more thing, a year after building my desktop I think I've finally figured out why it would sometimes crash when I plugged in a USB drive, I removed the stupid thin metal cutout in the back that i think was shorting out on the computer case and then re-shorting (or something) when the usb touched the case and the motherboard at the same time
