Question

what obstacle did george face in learning banjo

Answer 1

After dinner, George plays the banjo. A novice player, he is terrible at it. Montmorency howls along, and Harris and J. persuade George not to play for the remainder of the trip. J. mentions that George was later forced to sell the banjo because neither his landlady nor the passers-by outside his house can tolerate his playing. His friend Jefferson had a similar problem as George. Nobody wanted to listen to Jefferson's bagpipes. People in the neighborhood complained and the family was getting a bad name.
