Don Reno interview with Tony TrischkaHello, wanted to let you all know about a new section we just added in Tony's Interview area. It's an eight-part phone interview Tony did with bluegrass legend Don Reno for the book Masters of the Five String Banjo, which co-wrote with Pete Wernick. This is a very special interview that Tony conducted with Don shortly before he passed away in 1984 and we're honored to be able to include it here.  Find it in the Special Guests area (or go to the "Music+" tab up top), or click on the picture of Don to get to the first part. A friend of Tony's added pictures to go along with the audio, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
