Pete inherited his lifelong love of music from his mother, Clare, a selftaught piano player, who had a huge collection of records that were always playing on the family hi-fi. Pete originally took lessons at 8 years old, but stopped after a year because he didn’t like the teacher or the teacher didn't like him. After some false starts, he bought a Casio keyboard 5 years ago and has been with it ever since.

Pete and Bob grew up together in Brooklyn with Pete attending more than a few of Bob’s Rock and Roll Shows during their formative years. What started out as a couple of jam sessions in Bob’s basement, just as Covid was hitting, eventually morphed into the Cellar Dwellers. Somewhere, Clare is smiling knowing that  #2 son, finally stuck with it and is in a genuine rock and roll band!!

Never give up on your dreams, even if your teacher fails to inspire you.” - Pete
