Hi Peter,
I met you once on the street in the East Village, just after I'd first moved to New York (about seven years ago). It wasn't as cold as it looks in your picture.
And then I heard you play with Frank Tedesso a few months ago, which was beautiful. Now we meet here again... You are a great musician. I love the cello strumming song. Greta xo
