I've never met Pete, but I've seen him on several occasions. I too, tried to play the banjo due to his influence. Couldn't get it because I needed a left hand one. Those were and are hard to find. Pete of late has become sort of a Unitarian. I hope he will like his church of choice.

There is a bit of a story about him being forgetful of his banjo one time and not securing it to his luggage rack properly. Anyway, he drove off and...I forget the rest of the story. Perhaps some of you 'catter critters know the reat of it and can relay it to us?
