I have only known Peter a short time, having met him a year ago when he surprised everyone at The Boston Singer's Club. That night, he and I had a wonderful conversation and exchanged phone numbers. I get a call from Peter every so often and we talk about folk music and sing songs to each other over the phone.

Peter's passion for folk music is evident in his singing and the productions that he has put on in the last year.

Oh yes, I do know that the two productions that Peter produced in the last year were done for charity, and I believe the one this weekend is for charity as well. Peter doesn't take a single cent!

I can't think of a more decent human being than Peter. His generosity and his belief in the music is a shining light in the folk world, especially here in Boston. I am proud to know Peter and to call him a friend.
