STRONGLY recommended. Sir Aldingar is a great ballad wonderfully realised with a fitting guitar part.

For Kitsap, Mason, Jefferson and Clallam county 'catters:
Brian's concert on Sunday on Bainbridge Island is at the Island Music Center at Valley Road and Sunrise Drive. Coming South from the Agate Pass Bridge, turn left at Day Rd and go all the way to the T intersection on Sunrise. Turn right and then a couple of miles later turn left on Valley and IMC will be on your immediate left, right behind Rolling Bay Auto, across from the Presbyterian Church.
Coming north from the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal, turn right at Manitou Beach Road after 2 miles on State 305 which leaves the terminal. Bear left at Madison - the first turn available, then right at the stop sign at Valley, cross Sunrise and it's on the left.
See you there. :) Carter Bannerman

We just saw him off to Bainbridge Island
on the ferry dock in Seattle.

Friday night's "hoot" at the Couth Buzzard in Seattle
was a lot of fun with Brian and seven other musicians.
And the Saturday Seattle Folklore Society Concert
was great - a good audience, nice songs and tunes,
interspersed with some good English humour.
He'll spend a few days on Bainbridge then
down to California for the rest of his tour.

Thanks Brian, we enjoyed having you this weekend.

Cheers, S. in Seattle

I got this early this morning from an old friend of decades of the ferry commute, and pass it along for the edification of the unsuspecting Californians who have yet to hear good Dr Peteers:

Thank you so much for helping to bring Brian Peters to sing and play for us! My God, he is so good! He's got one of those clear beautiful voices that just cuts right into your heart. I am still reeling from the thrill. I bought one of his CDs, I need to buy more! More more more! Please do what you can to convince him that he must return to us as soon as possible.   WOW!

As unsolicited testimonials go, I'd have to that and A+.
