Review of Banjo Pete

"Banjo Pete" is a close, polished piece about a banjo player and maker from Baltimore. It goes deeper, into the history of the banjo and pays homage to other imported instruments. High quality piece, light, not too newsy, first person from Pete with a short introduction. Nicely done. This could find a home on any show dealing with music or any of the subjects brought up. Aaron's pieces are all worth a listen. I think nearly everyone will find something from him they really like.
