Wow Pete. You have my utmost respect. Not only are you an accomplished artist, you are an inspiration to us all. I cannot imagine that scenario at all. Wish I had been at that campfire here in Ohio.

Hi Brian- Thanks for the note. The campfire was fun. Not only did we play some of our songs, we had an impromptu jam with my cousin.

Hi Jonathan- Thank you. It really is my pleasure to share. You're going to want to keep a box of tissues handy for when "Song for Barbara Ann" comes out. I cried my eyes out writing it.

Pete, I help adoptees identify their birth-fathers through DNA. Let me know if you’d like to discuss.
