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 w...

And Brad has lots of good stuff to share, especially about why he’s an old time music organizer and community builder. Buy Charm City Junction’s ...
