If you saw my introductory post, you'll know that we lost my father a little while ago.
One of the things he left me was his banjo. It's a nice, playable instrument, but it's too beat up to have much resale value. I don't have the time or interest to learn to play it. None of my musician friends want it. I've even tried giving it to the local schools' music programs, but they've turned me down.
Go figure. It's this really cool thing - I'm not just gonna put it out with the trash - but I can't even give it away.
About a week ago I came up with an easy way to find someone who wanted it and to get them take it off my hands. I live near a large city. I thought I'd put the banjo in the back seat, drive downtown, park somewhere with the windows rolled down, and go have a nice, long lunch. By the time I came back to the car, my problem should be solved.
Things didn't work out quite like I'd planned.
By the time I got back from lunch, two other guys had stuck their banjos in there with mine.
