11.01.2022 The venerable Pete Robinson was interviewed this morning by Franz Madlener from the Arco Bar. Franz did his homework and asked some interesting questions so if you'd like to hear about how Pete got into the music business and some of his many adventures, put aside 28 minutes. It's an informative and amusing interview. Well done Pete.
