Hi Pete long time listener, saw you at the Casbah in San Diego maybe 97? So, glad you are out for a little tour on the west cost. Got tickets at McCabe's, my wife and I. Is it to late to send a picture of me & mi father? He introduce me to rock concerts when I was young. Also, Lonely Mama is a deep & beautiful song, thank you for sharing it. Peace

Hi Sean- I'm looking forward to McCabe's. I had one of the most memorable gigs of my life there years ago. Such a cool space.

Unfortunately, it is too late for the video.

Thanks for the kind words about "Lonely Mama." It's a special song for me.

Hi Pete,

I have been listening your songs since pretty much the beginning when I was growing up in the US.

"You Called Me Kid" is another great one.

What a great idea for us fans to contribute to the video! I have submitted pictures of me and my mom and me and my dad.

Greetings from Switzerland,

Lukas

Please release any covers here as well🙏. Cover Free Falling or maybe You don’t know how it feels?

Thought of some more covers that I can hear you and Elaine doing. Don’t go back to Rockville. Raining in Baltimore. 6th avenue heartache. Don’t give up - Peter Gabriel. Lucky - 7 Mary 3.

To be honest, I think you guys could pull off any song that you try.

Slip Sliding Away? No Man’s Land - Bob Seger?

Hi Brian- For sure, I'll post everything here. Elaine and I do a pretty decent version of "You Don't Know How it Feels." I've messed around with "Free Fallin'" but have never cracked the code on it. Tom was such a great singer... the way he hits those high notes in the chorus... it's hard for me to do that justice. But I'll keep trying... that would be a good one to cover. Love that song. Love that whole album!

Is this a Frank Zappa reference? :)

No, it's not. I had friends who were into Zappa... so I was exposed to some of his music. But I was not aware of that one. He was a genius! They'll be talking about his music for a long time. A true original.

Hi Debie- Yeah... John Jeffcoat, the director, came up with the idea. I'm super excited about it. Thanks for taking part!

Photo submitted! That's me and my older brother Paul. He called me "Keek" but close enough to "kid"!
