Peter Mayer House Concert

We met Peter somewhere around the turn of the Millennium, in Boulder. We had heard him perform, had been listening to one of his cd's. And there he was at a 3rd grader's baseball game. Peter was producing a new album in Boulder, and apparently had nothing better to do than watch this baseball game. Mary suggested that we shouldn't bother him. Needless to say we did, and the bother was, in fact, welcome.

Since then we've struck up a most unusual friendship. We see each other every year or two, but in the form of a weekend spent together. How many of your friends stay for the weekend whenever they come by?

This may be the 5th time now that Peter has come from Minnesota to share his music in Santa Fe. Each time we feel so fortunate to have him. His music touches us in a deeper way: Mary has asked for Blue Boat Home at her funeral (no date has been set; Peter is younger than we are and will, we're sure, be in fine performance-ready shape whenever that date is set). And we have one more chance to share our remarkable friend, and some of the finest songs we've ever heard, with you.
