Pete's Banjo?



Hi all,

Not to change the subject from the interesting "creative peak" thread... but
I'm curious about the sporadic use of the banjo in PT's work. Of course the
first song that comes to mind is Squeeze Box, but what about others? 

I've read that Pete played the banjo when he was very young, and am curious
if he played it himself on SqB, or if someone sat in. Realizing that the
banjo will probably never have the class of a well-played guitar, does anyone
know what kind of banjo he played (tenor, plectrum, 5-string)?

The incredibly fast, almost flamenco style of guitar that Pete has prided
himself on borrows a lot from banjo techniques. Anyone care to comment on the
connection?
