Me and Mike Peters again
Playing with Mike Peters of the Alarm is always a wonderful experience (see post further down on this page). We did Love, Hope, Strength.
I played bass with Jose Feliciano
I was honored with the opportunity to play Knockin' on Heaven's Door with Jose Feliciano at a 2018 education conference! Jose and his son John were gentlemen and truly the salt of the earth. It was a little weird playing upside down, but I got the bass line down pretty well.
By the way, this is an actual conversation I had with Jose while driving hm back to his suite:
Pete: This is a Ferrari.
Jose Feliciano: This is a Honda or some shit.
(It was a Hyundai)

Donate your unused (or new) instruments!
Earlier this year I donated a left-handed bass guitar (see earlier post) to my alma mater band in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Well, I'm proud to see that my bass is being used by a student! Thirteen percent of all people are left-handed. However, only one percent of guitar players are left-handed. This is a great example of how even a gift that may have been sitting around collecting dust at my house, and even at Haverhill High, has found a home. Do you have an old instrument laying around, collecting dust? Please consider donating it a school band program.
And I am so serious about this endeavor that if you live in the Southern New Hampshire / Northern Massachusetts area, I will personally come by and pick it up. Thank you!

Making music with a Walton!
I recently had the honor of making music with a few close friends of mine. Our guest of honor was one Jon Walmsley, who is known for playing the role of middle child Jason Walton on The Waltons television show. Well, let me tell you something, Jon is an amazing musician and super nice guy. He's working on a new blues album and I look forward to hearing it. I hope I get the chance to play again with these wonderful musicians because it makes me a better musician.
Thank you all for a wonderful time!

On stage with one of my heroes!
They say that you should never meet your heroes. "They" have never met Mike Peters, seminal vocalist of the band, The Alarm. I have always been a fan of The Alarm. Their song, Strength, remains my anthem. Anyway, Mike formed the Love Hope Strength Foundation as a way to raise awareness to blood cancer. Their work so far has resulted in nearly 150,000 registrations for the international bone marrow registry!
Please consider either donating to this important cause, or do like me and bid on the chance to play the encore live on stage with Mike Peters! Please visit the Love Hope Strength Foundation.
I had a wonderful time! Thank you, Mike Peters!

Donate a musical instrument today!
I recently donated this ESP LTD bass to my hometown high school band, Haverhill High. Consider donating a new or used instrument to your local school. They need all the help they can get, especially with the arts and humanities constantly on budget cutting blocks.

Erika and I had a great time in NYC at BookCon. I really enjoyed meeting readers and hopefully getting some new fans!
