I understand Deckman's point of view, but I can tell tyou hat Pete would get very angry if someone cost him a paying gig. He was a member of AFM Local 1000 and believed strongly that musicians should be paid. He also believed in using the power of music to effect social change and would often sing at rallies, and for certain causes for free. But he was a charter member of Local 1000 and a proud union musician. I sat with him at his kitchen table and we discussed this very topic.
