TEXAS, FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA.....Special note: The Music of PETE KINNE and his older brother DAVID KINNE is also featured here. In DAVID"S words: By way of explanation or perhaps apology, the music is very very raw - I recorded most of it directly into my computer and produced it myself using CoolEdit. This is the epitome of low fi. Also – we had some rules for our songs … The entire process of songwriting … from concept to lyrics to final recording … could take no longer than one hour. No retakes were allowed – each track was recorded “as is.” Needless to say, the songs are pretty bad, but also entertaining and fun. Don’t feel like you have to put them on the website, (although you are welcome to) – but you can enjoy them as another side of Pete that helps represent his sense of humor. “You Don’t Smell Anymore” – A touching ballad about olfactory relief.
This PETE KINNE Page is to share with you the music and talents of our friend PETE KINNE who we lost in Sept. of 2006.

One of my favorite memories with Pete is one night...forever ago it seems, we were at a friend's house...Pete and Eric both had their guitars...they were playing and i was singing. it was the definition of perfect harmony.
I skim through this page more often than not-appreciating what everyone else comments about Pete. And then of course-always appreciative of Pete. *suntigns*
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. Now all we have are memories, perhaps a picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping, we have you in our heart.
In my heart today and everyday. I miss you! "Seldom stumble, never crumble Try to tumble, life's a rumble Feel the stinging I've been given Never ending, unrelenting Heartbreak searing, always fearing Never caring, persevering Sail on, sail on, sailor"
Hey thanks so much for posting the video! Pete and I would sit around the house and play those songs and it was a joy to see them done "correctly." I especially got a kick out of all the "springs" ... home of the manatee and the glass bottom boats.
"If I'm afraid to catch a dream...I weave your baskets and I float them down the river stream...Each one I weave with words I speak to carry love to your relief...On and on, and on it goes. The world its just keeps spinning. Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe. So close my eyes again and start again anew."~~broke down when i heard this song from willy mason today...miss you so much...just wish you were here...i know that you carry on though everywhere and in each of us. but i can't believe its summertime again and your gone.
