I call myself a 'poet with guitar'. Same number of syllables as 'singer songwriter', but it doesn't sound like a sewing machine attachment.

Album Notes

With many singer songwriters to choose from, once in a while one comes along who really stands out. While relatively unknown, those who hear Peter's songs remember them. Peter has been a poet and songwriter for most of his adult life, and well known in Northern New Jersey and New England folk circles. With a loyal fan base asking for a recording, "In His Own Words" is finally here. Twelve original songs that fill the senses, honor the craft, make you stop and listen, ask you to sing along.

Here's what people have said about the CD:

"As more of a literary than a musical person, I listen to lyrics intensely and each time I listen to your CD I find another description or turn of phrase to admire. I am amazed at the feelings and, really, whole stories that are contained in these songs. But, that is not to minimize the pleasure of the music and your lovely voices."

"Peter, this album is so moving. Song after song, I'm getting chills, tears, laughs, all of it. I think of my dear daughter in California whom I miss. I think of how very lucky I am to be living here in nature's bounty with loved ones all around. On and on. You are a word wizard. Very tastefully produced and mixed also, not over done and heavy. Deb, your voice is amazing, so clear and true. It is a pleasure to listen to."

"Kudos to Peter and Deb for a great job, well done. Been listening to the CD all week in my car. Very clever, thoughtful lyrics and beautiful harmonies. Quite the storyteller, Peter. Can’t pick a favorite just yet. I love “The Nearsighted Poet”. Makes me grin every time it plays. And “The Vegetable with Feet” is hilarious. Deb's beautiful voice is so perfect on “Here in This Place” and “York, Maine”, it almost makes me want to move back to New England."
