Paul Prestopino
Paul Prestopino has been playing music almost all his life, there exists a home recording of him at age 3, sitting at the piano and singing "What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor" while playing an honest-to-goodness minor chord as accompaniment. He got a harmonica at age 4, a guitar at age 9, a banjo at 11; and a mandolin, Dobro, recorder, tenor banjo, electric bass, electric lap steel, etc., have been added as they became needed. Originally headed in the direction of Physics, or the accompanying technology, he suddenly found himself snatched from his job at the University of Wisconsin's High Energy Physics Lab by an offer from the Chad Mitchell Trio. This was around 1961, and, seven years later, when the group disbanded, he fell into the recording business; the logical confluence of his technical and musical interests. Today he is the technical third of the three-man team aboard the award-winning Record Plant Remote truck, a lot of which he designed and built. He continues to play music,  both professionally and avocationally, and particularly enjoys playing for Contra and English Country dances. He has been a member of the dance band Hold The Mustard since before it even had a name, and has performed and recorded with numerous folk and pop artists. With  on most of their albums.
