Update, 10/19/98

Drawing by Peter Himmelman

The BIG NEWS is that Peter has two more albums coming out in addition to Love Thinketh No Evil. One will be an eclectic mix of outtakes, and alternate versions of songs. Most likely the album will be called: From the Vault, Volume 1 . The other album will be a new children's album which he is doing with David Morgan, the very talented pianist who has accompanied Peter at a number of his east coast shows. The children's album will most likely be entitled My Fabulous Plum.

For those of you who are not familiar with David Morgan, let me share with you that I think David is as kind, and as warm, as he is exceptionally talented. I had the pleasure of attending a recent performance given by David and his jazz trio at the famous Blue Note, where the show was recorded as a live album. To give you some indication of the calibre of David's music, he studied Jazz in New Orleans. He has studied with Ellis Marsalis. Jason Marsalis, whom I presume to also be part of the great Marsalis clan, serves as the percussionist in the David Morgan Trio. In addition, David Grossman, the gentleman who plays the bass for the trio, himself recently won a major competition at Juilliard.

Considering David's own illustrious musical background and the wonderful rapport he and Peter enjoy when they play together, I have to think that this new children's album is going to be OUTSTANDING!

As for other new album, Peter told me that he is VERY excited about it. I suspect that it is going to be very Peter, that it's going to be a lot of fun for us to listen to!!

We have a lot of great stuff to look forward to!!

Working hard to keep you posted!!!
