The best thing about this past summer was learning to play the banjo and pretending I was like Scott. My best friend plays guitar, she of course, was Seth, and we learned as many Avett songs as we could . I introduced her to the Avetts this year, and they have increasingly defined our lives. At least for 2009. I attribute all my banjo skills to their songs because those were the ones I started with. My fondest memory of this summer was my friend and I playing SSS and Die die die in the parking lot at the mall one July day just enjoying life.
