I hope my patience lasts out. It wasn't til this guy came to one of the jam nights in my local with his mandolin and joined in on an impromptu version of 'Zombie' by the Cranberries that I was swayed - I loved how it could make a pretty bland song into something totally different. Luckily, I have a couple of people around me to point me in the right direction, so I wont have to bodge my way through, get frustrated and end up throwing it across the room (R.I.P to the mini accordian that that happened to...)!
