MuzikTeechur Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 An inspirational man - highly political, Blacklisted by McCarthy, and a revolutionary banjo player.

HammondDave Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A gigantic loss to our country and our society. I saw Pete with Arlo Guthrie in the late 80s at Chautauqua. Inspiring concert. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff374/hammonddave/image_zpsc926cd6f.jpg '55 and '59 B3's; Leslies 147, 122, 21H; MODX 7+; NUMA Piano X 88; Motif XS7; Mellotrons M300 and M400’s; Wurlitzer 206; Gibson G101; Vox Continental; Mojo 61; Launchkey 88 Mk III; Korg Module; B3X; Model D6; Moog Model D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTeechur Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 There was a documentary recently called "Give Me The Banjo" narrated by Steve Martin which chronicled the evolution of the instrument as well as many of the great players: Earl Scruggs, Bela Fleck, and of course Pete Seeger (and many others) The segment on Seeger was pretty long and had quite an interview with him. I highly recommend it just for informational purposes, and Steve Martin is no slouch on the instrument, either. Muzikteechur is Lonnie, in Kittery, Maine.
