I feel like I am obsessive enough by nature to be able to learn whatever. Hopefully. Accordions and banjos do look like a lot of fun. It seems the cheapest santoors are $300, which seems reasonable enough (However I still have no clue what instrument I should start with; I will have to research more)

We all should just move to Austin already!
I would love to be in a doom-folk band, personally.
Oh, and since you like Red House Painters, I feel I should mention this somewhat embarrassing factoid:
I once recorded a toy piano cover (because a regular piano would not have sounded pitiful enough, I guess) of Mistress and put it on the internet. Actually there were two toy pianos (and ghostly layered vocals) involved. Thankfully it's long gone!
