His father a Professional trumpet player with strong Dixieland and Jazz influences. pete could remember at the age of  8 ( The onset of the British Invasion )  going through his fake books learning "standards of the era" on his guitar.
Walking a few miles to school ( P.S. 106 ) through the Spanish neighborhood's, & being introduced to the Salsa-Latin rhythms. He would stop and listen to the music, enthralled by the orchestration of the horn section and the poly rhythms, associated with percussion and string bass. And then go home to listen to the Oldies on WMCA Goodguys. He played Violin in school because the guitar was not recognized as an instrument in those day's.

                                                                                                                                                                         Pete’s first Recording session was at Columbia Records NY City. “I belonged to a very large NYC Choir ( St. Raymonds ) Approx 100 vocalists. I was nine or ten and was overwhelmed that I was going to be on an album. I never know what happened to my copy but I am glad for the experience”.

In my High school years, I was cutting my teeth on the guitar playing all of the hit songs of the day from Led Zepplin to Jimi Hendrix, by my Senior year, I was involved with a few guys who wanted to do Rock and Roll and Doo Wop but there was no room for another guitarist so I bought a bass guitar. Within a week I was out playing in nightclubs and I have never looked back.
