      Love the album and we enjoyed seeing you at Eddies Attic. Stupid question - should we have received the album in the mail yet? Thanks.

      Peter, After a few days I'm finally getting around to giving the album a good listen through. I'm loving it!

      One note...track 7 is missing from the lossless version of the zip file sent a couple days ago. Not a big deal but I'm one of the very few who likes to have the best quality I can in all my music, especially the music that I like the most!

      Thanks

      Dear Peter,

      Thanks for letting us sample your new song (with KD Lang's rhythm section backing you)! It is so pretty! I am playing it for a friend, and you have some new fans! Can't wait for your new album!

      All the best,

      I just heard "Real Love" on Life Unexpected. It's the kind of song that gives me chills and makes me look up the artist. Then I realized I already knew the artist.. and that your new work is just as amazing as the songs that originally pulled me in. Looking forward to the new album!

      Ooooh I can't wait, it's like waiting for Christmas Day - LOL. Seriously though, you should take the time you need to get it to a standard only you are happy with, because i'm sure you will only be happy with perfection. I suspect anything less is not an option for you. Why not aim for it to be a Christmas present? You can send them gift wrapped! He he, the kid in me at Christmas has never left :o) Love Lydia Xx

      This is a call to all of Peter's friends: please pass this web site on to your local radio station that you have heard his music played on, or your local music store that sells his CD's or anyone else that you think might be interested in supporting his project. We passed this web site to our local station, WFPK, and hope that we have created some new interest the past few days. Just trying to help Peter in his quest to make the new record!

      Peter- I hope and know deep down you will make your goal and this new record will be just beautiful like all the others. You are such a wonderful and talented artist and I am very honored to have been blessed with listening to your music the past twenty years. I only wish I could have pledged more but I know to you every little bit means something. Continue your dreams and I look forward to hearing more music soon. Wish you would make it to northern Florida again sometime soon though so the kids could hear you live, Till then all the best!!!

UNLESS you want to make it easier on me and travel to Northern CA one of these days! You are blessed with a beautiful, soulful voice and I wish you the best with this latest project! Thanks for including your "fans."

      It is such an honor and a privilege, Peter, to contribute even in this small way to the creation of your new album. The pre-production excerpts already sound terrific, and the blending of Molly Parden’s voice with your own is a near-perfect combination. I will confess, though, that I still hold out hope for a track or two fished out of that icy dark PBA current that gave us the damp-haired, cold-skinned lover of “Darkening Sky”; the freed angels of a sea-swallowed “Los Angeles”; the ghost-beyond-forgetting on the door-perch of “I’ll Forget You,” and those roiling black clouds and thunderbolts of “Rain Come Down.” Death is the mother of beauty, yes?. . . . Can’t wait for the album, Peter. (Oh, any piano . . . or viola?)
