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




Get Up in the Cool show

Summary: <p>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. </p> <p>Tunes we’ll play:<br> Happy Hollow<br> Butterfly Flip<br> Untitled Song<br> Hard Times/Green Corn<br> Poor Black Sheep<br> Bonus Track: Big Scioty</p> <p>Kristina’s article, Playing Banya: The Evidence and Legacy of Shared Cultural Practice: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/Playing-Banya" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/Playing-Banya</a><br> Kristina’s website: <a href="http://www.kristinagaddy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kristinagaddy.com/</a><br> Follow Kristina on Instagram: @kgadz<br> Pete’s website: <a href="http://www.banjopete.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.banjopete.com/</a><br> Follow him on Instagram: @banjopete<br> The Banjo Gathering: <a href="https://banjogathering.weebly.com/" rel="nofollow">https://banjogathering.weebly.com/</a></p>
