Episode 102: Kristina Gaddy and Pete Ross (History of the Banjo)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friends are Kristina Gaddy and Pete Ross. We recorded at their home about a month ago when I was in town to play the Baltimore Square Dance. A few notes about this episode: I’m playing guitar because it made the most sense for Pete to play banjo in this one. Also, I added the explicit tag to the episode description because there is some coarse language used in a moment of pure, earnest enthusiasm. Tunes we’ll play: Happy Hollow Butterfly Flip Untitled Song Hard Times/Green Corn Poor Black Sheep Bonus Track: Big Scioty Kristina’s article, Playing Banya: The Evidence and Legacy of Shared Cultural Practice: https://tinyurl.com/Playing-Banya Kristina’s website: http://www.kristinagaddy.com/ Follow Kristina on Instagram: @kgadz Pete’s website: http://www.banjopete.com/ Follow him on Instagram: @banjopete The Banjo Gathering: https://banjogathering.weebly.com/Support Get Up in the Cool
