fantastic story. It is so illuminating of for those of us outside the curtain of how music is made to consider the auditioning of a bassist and all that is involved...

Man , this is such a great idea, Pete. We get to hear these great stories and listen to great stuff. I want MORE!!!!! Glad you're feeling well enough to do these and connect even more with your fans. I feel like most of your songs were written for me. That's what great songwriters do. I could listen to you and Elaine sing the phone book, though, and probably love it. Thanks for putting yourself out here. We do enjoy and appreciate you.

Having driven through Death Valley without an air conditioner before, I feel your pain.

Great story about how you selected Dave to be a Sinner. What a wonderful guy! He would always be happy to talk and take pictures after a performance. And his work in theJoe Perry Band was great as well. You can sure pick um Pete.

I like Dave. The first time I met him was at the old 9:30 club. We talked about basses. Really down to earth. Just a great guy. Love the story.
