It was good to read the work of Peter Pereira. Especially enjoyed the links to Sanchez and Jonker. Thanks.

Yes, very cool to see Peter’s work get some attention. I’m excited about Joni Mitchell’s return. She’s right about one thing: music in America is in a total slump. I’m still listening to mostly British and European bands/singers.
