“These are times that try men’s souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” Thomas Paine
Thank you, Pete, for a lifetime of music, hope, courage and patriotism for every season.

Amen! We are so lucky that Pete rounded Cape Ann in a Schooner one day, sailed in, and gave a rip roaring concert at GHS that night! Life well lived indeed!
If the politicians and corporate moguls understood half of what Pete knew about the difference between right and wrong, this planet would be in much better shape.
A legned for sure and great music 🙂
