Peter and Susan,
On Sunday, November 23rd, 2014 a group of musicians collected at the Chameleon in Durham. Linked by their friendship with Peter, they paid tribute to him and played a few songs. Members of the groups recalled their relationship to each other and to Peter who often introduced them to each other or to certain songs that have been favorites over the years. Many of the musicians met at Duke in the early 70s and appeared on Peter's radio show. Some were in groups with Peter - the Flashbacks or Green River.
In attendance (in alpha order):
Mike Bisdee - guitar
Michael Borstleman - mandolin and guitar
Billy Stevens - keyboard, harmonica, vocals, more
Toni Stevens - vocals
Jay Cunningham - guitar and vocals
Al Dawson - guitar and vocals
Charlie Ebel - guitar and vocals
Janet Stolp - guitar and vocals
Robert Truesdale - bass
Rodger Tygard - drums and bongos
Lew Wardell - bass
Videos have been uploaded to a special YouTube channel "Peter K" (kind of like "Murray the K" or "Coach K") here: https://www.youtube.com/
I uploaded them in the order they were performed, so you should view them in reverse order as they appear on the You Tube channel.
Speaking for everyone who was there, this was a joy to contribute to and a good excuse to get together and share memories and friendships!
P.S. I also uploaded a couple videos to my own channel recorded at a recent Claptones practice. These were recorded especially for Peter to watch and enjoy!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You know that I am here if you need me, but for now, I am honoring your request for some quiet time alone...just you and Peter. I am glad Karen is coming, and I know that Levin brings you both times of thankfulness and joy, as do the girls and their husbands.
