I still remember you back when you were a kid on the ski-school-bus hanging with Matt Christian. We had a garage band not to far from your house where you were playing. Back then we all had the Rockstar dream but I remember thinking that you could probably really do it... Way to go

The two best bands I've seen live are Candlebox and Pearl Jam. The gap between the quality of these bands and others that I've seen is ridiculous. Peter Klett is basically the reason I picked up a guitar. (That probably doesn't mean much considering i'm a 28 year old guy that works as a software administrator for a tractor manufacturer. None the less, playing guitar serves as a great release after a crappy day at the office. What the guys listed above as influences meant to him are what guys like him, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, etc... mean to me. Musical geniuses!) By the way, the new album is amazing!
