Quotes
When I was learning the banjo in New York City, Pete Seeger was great example of a 'New York City banjo player'. He was a lot more than a banjo player, he was a spokesman for a certain part of our society at that time. He was also a guy who believed in everybody getting together and using music as a 'wedge'. The music was a meeting point for people to discover how much they agreed on things. He also did very simple music. His message had to do with simplicity. Mine is probably the furthest from that.
