Peter, When you are up there on stage one can't help but get caught up in your energy. You bring that same energy to everything you get involved in, whether it's your business or community affairs. My quote of the day is "If Peter's involved in a project you know it'll be fun and you know it'll get done" Looking forward to our next gig!
— Mike Girard, Lead Singer of The Fools

It was really great seeing you at the station Sunday. I feel so close to you both. DK (Danny Klein) is so nice and humble. He is SO talented. Thank you both for my beautiful gifts. That was so thoughtful not to mention I love the bag! Thanks, Holly.

Pete, You do a lot of great work for good causes and it is inspirational. If I can add just a little to what you have accomplished over the four years doing Music For Middlesex, I will consider that a success.
— Hirsh Gardner, Drummer for New England / GM Daddy's Junky Music
You're one of my favorite drummers of all time. I was so in awe of you guys when you played with Michael (Metellica/Rapunzel). Ive done a lot of music since then but none that meant more to me on a personal level.
— Tabby Crabb / Mickey Gilley Band, Writer Producer Extrodinaire
"I have to say that one thing I miss most about the Army is that when people say they are going to do something, you can rely on it getting done without having to follow up. You guys are the only "civilians" that I've worked with in the 3 years that I've been retired that have that ethic".
— Jerry Girard, US Army (retired)
My dear Peter, thank you so very much for your incredible performance. You added so much to our celebration and really "rocked" the house!
