Trained at an early age in classical piano, and a self-taught guitarist, Peter played in private until he  began jamming with friends before the 2000 America's Cup campaign. This grew to a formation of the band, "The Water Brothers" and today Peter enjoys playing out whenever the opportunity presents itself.  Peter's musical tastes are eclectic but as along-time Deadhead he often tends toward the tunes of the band beyond description. Peter has recently been performing in San Diego and Syracuse with a variety of musicians.     (click pics for bigger image)
