The Banjo Guru

Did you know that some cultures back in early history considered being left handed was a negative thing? It’s hard to imagine the stereo types that have come into play. There is no way that I could even fathom a world were such stereotypes exist in that nature when it comes to being a “lefty” or a “righty.” I always found it fascinating when I would notice someone being able to write left handed, let alone play in instrument left handed.|

One particular instrument that has always fascinated me was the harp. To know that there are musicians that can play the harp is amazing in itself, but to find out that there are left handed harps is even more intriguing. I believe it takes a certain amount of skill to be able to learn how to work with particular instruments and just every day tools in a world that is solely based on the misconception that everyone is a “righty.”
