Tranquil - Darkest Hour
One of my all time favorite songs from back in the day, I wanted to take a proper shot at it. (If you can overlook that it's on a banjo)

Someone joking yelled out Sesame Street when I was still in minor tuning so I churned out a depressing version lol

My kid beat a level he's been doing for a while and nearly gave me a heart attack. I made him a video he'll eventually see and probably just comment "lol."

My kid made me a game for Father's Day where I try to send him and his brothers to bed while they try to touch all the thermostats xD

I went out into the middle of nowhere to play for a bit last night and ended up invading some helicopter's native habitat apparently lol

I'm going to hit a million streams tomorrow
I wish I had people around me that could truly understand the grind I've been on. I'm no one special. Just a normal guy with a job and responsibilities and kids and cats.
I started uploading about a year ago, after having some videos blow up of just me playing songs online, and people started commenting that I should upload to spotify, so I figured out how to do that in my bedroom over many late nights.
I've put out 24 tracks this first year, and you can see by the spikes that 3-4 tracks have mostly carried. I haven't spent any money on ads or playlists, but I'm wondering if I should start looking into it, or if there's even a value to be gained from it. I don't even know where to begin, if anyone has any thoughts.
The point is, if I can do this, you can absolutely do this. I don't have a big secret or magic bullet. I can't figure out algorithms from a hole in the ground, and I'm just an old man that decided to finally give it a real go. It comes with a ton of disappointment and second guessing, and so, so many flops.
My best advice is show up even when you don't feel like it. Even when you think there's no point. Do it because you love it and it will make the dips more bearable, and at some point, you will be in the right place at the right time. Just keep showing up.

Toward Elysium (u/Dizzy-Fall-7870 cover)
What a fun tune to play, u/Dizzy-Fall-7870 .. I saw your video and decided I would take my first stab at learning a song by tab. Well done man! It took me a minute to wrap my head around the 2/4 timing, but you made it really easy. I hope I did it justice.

It's both validating and terrifying to post for other banjo players, but at least I never have to worry about the "stop pretending you're playing that" comments from people who don't understand the banjo's magic
(the dancing fairy back there got out of her bottle, that's my bad)
