Way to blow my socks off

So my friend Peter Katz rolled into town on Thursday night, played a nice little pub I didn't know about called Jackdaw's and, surprise surprise, TOTALLY blew my socks off. For the millionth time. You have to understand I'm a little bit biased because he is, afterall, my friend, but he really is incredibly talented. in the course of any show of his, I always have moments where I smile and there is probably a little twinkle in my eye while I get lost in a daydream provoked by some of his incredible lyrics... or else, I end up feeling the lump in my throat grow, as in "The Fence" about Matthew Shepard, and the tears well up in my eyes...

ANYWAY. He is incredibly powerful and talented and amazing. The thing that touches me the most about his music, though, is how incredibly honest and genuine it is - I always feel like he's confiding something deep, important, personal.

Good thing he's coming back in a few weeks' time. Check him out.
