Hi, David, I'll be out of town at my son's college graduation, or I would definitely be there. Peter was a real professional, a tireless worker, and was one of the few folks I know who actually could get away with wearing a kilt! You're right, too - his instruments were simply rock solid...folks just don't tune like that anymore. If you are there, and it seems appropriate, please pass along my condolences and regards. Thanks very much for letting us know. Best.
