Paul Roberts

has been playing banjo since 1962, when he became entranced with the bluegrass sound and technique. After six months of intense study, his first teacher handed over all her students to Paul. In college and during his career as a music therapist at McClean hospital in Belmont Massachussets, Paul used the banjo extensively.
