Episode 102: Kristina Gaddy and Pete Ross (History of the Banjo) Aug 08, 2018

Show notes

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

Episode 101: Brad Kolodner (Old Time in the Community) Aug 01, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This week’s friend is Brad Kolodner! Brad was my guest for episode one, and this is episode 101, and I feel very sentimental about that. I love having guests return on the show, because we get past the basic “how did you get in to old time” question and into the good stuff! And Brad has lots of good stuff to share, especially about why he’s an old time music organizer and community builder.
