I'm so excited I can barely contain my joy at seeing this happen. My editor George Kalogerakis is a longtime friend who deserves much credit for making me sound more like myself. Thanks George.

Hi Peter,

Great piece in the Times. Jay Bennett is always writing in front of the soundless TV too.

Feel free to drop a line sometime.

Way to go Peter. Your writing skills are just great. I loved it. Fishing for a tune. Oh yeah

Nicely done! I had just been trying to get one of the guys that works for me out in KC to check out some dB's and the link to the NYT (with the "Black and White" link) was perfect timing. He was raving about it when I knocked off for the day - a new fan!

I was recently explaining to someone how I got to know your music (my first exposure was via the "last" [until recently, of course] and great dB's album "The Sound of Music"), when I was asked "So...what's PH up to these days?" Well, I'd last seen you and CD live at Wetlands "opening" for Hootie some years back (well, it was a CD gig with a "special guest"). What a great surprise to see you writing for Measure For Measure! Looking forward to more, of course.

You're the talk of Austin! My husband excitedly talked about your article last night and Rob Patterson mentioned his love for the article on Facebook.

Great article, Peter. I love it when the writing not only describes the process but begins to act it out. I get the thoughts and the experience all in one. Well done--and more, please!

"Back yet again!" says the Infrequent Blogger

(photo by Bill Reaves) I am inevitably confounded by the amount of time I let go by between posts here. My last post was February of last year (2022). You may ask yourself "what was he doing that prevented him from posting again?" and the answer is, of course, "nothing really." I forget I have this place to write my thoughts down for a waiting world to read, which would be helpful for me as well to empty my chaotic mind and make a little space. But since you're here and may be wondering what I'm up to, I'll try to fill you in. Mostly, I'm tending to home stuff. I do laundry and pick up groceries and a lot of domestic engineering that involves a broom, dustpan and mop. And sometimes that sweet shower glass cleaner recipe I found a while ago that makes it so you can see out again. We have a new junior at UNC-W and a new junior at Riverside High School, and they've been navigating their lives outside the nest. The high schooler just got her drivers&

NY Times blog part three is up

I know, I know. You haven't heard from me lately, and I'm sorry. The future's looming large, and distractions have been keeping me away from DTBMMLF. Meanwhile, the Times songwriting blog is up so you can go read that for the moment. I'll be back soon, I promise. Thank you for your patience.

Merry Christmas
and/or Happy Holidays,
whichever you prefer!

On Christmas Day 2023, my family found itself chilling in our hotel room in Chicago, feeling exceptionally fortunate to have each other and our health and love. We decided to forgo the major present giving, with all that accompanies choosing gifts people will like, and just have ourselves an experience for Christmas. And I think we'd all agree that it was a fantastic choice. We saw the Art Institute of Chicago (5 hours there), the Frank Lloyd Wright house and studio, the University of Chicago campus, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Chicago Architecture Center. We ate Chicago hot dogs at the Billy Goat Tavern, shared a burger at Gordon Ramsay Burger, drunk coffee at the enormous Starbuck's Reserve, and been entertained/abused by the dancing waitstaff at Ed Debevic's. We walked around Millennium Park twice (the Bean is closed, unfortunately) and the Magnificent Mile and the Riverwalk. The weather was chilly, which Chicago thinks of as 'balmy',
