Today is #NationalBanjoDay
I have a “cousin” to the banjo, known as a banjolele. It looks & sounds like a banjo, but has four strings and you play it like a uke. Always liked the sound of the banjo, but didn’t want to learn a new instrument. I enjoy playing it, though it is quite loud! #SteveMartin
Partner says today is #NationalBanjoDay (I don't know whose national). My playing the same riff over and over and over (nailing it about 50% of the time) is his own fault.

August 14, 1945. Steve Martin is born in Waco, Texas. Best known as a Comedian and Actor, he's also a renowned Banjo player, often performing with the "Steep Canyon Rangers"...
The cover of the novel BANJO by Claude McKay shows black silhouettes against a burnt orange background. A feminine figure poses on an urban beach. On a pier above her are the outlines of four men, including one playing the musical instrument referenced in the title.
I guess it's not #NationalBanjoDay in Marseilles, where this excellent novel is set. But nevertheless, I'll recommend it!
