No, do not play any instrument!.
Peter came to Chile in February 2008, bad luck I!My father was very ill, and died in March of that year.
I have pictures of Peter in the Festival of Viña del Mar

Likewise Patricia. I also haven't had the pleasure of knowing him either, but have been a fan since the 70's. I nearly got to say hi in Anneheim in LA years ago at the AIMS expo/conference I think it was 1990. But I wasn't sure it was him and so I chickened out. I even had a Herd Album I brought all the way from Australia for him to sign. I'm a lot braver in my 40's LOL I wouldn't hesitate now. Never mind eh? His music is like knowing him in the way he wants us to know him and that's quite OK. It's how "I" know him. It'd be great to be able to sing with him one day though, he inspired my own musical career. Not that I can play a note on an instrument though, nor did I get too far with it. Do you play an instrument Patricia?

Pick the last thing you wrote Angela... the censacion I listen to the chords of his guitar it seems as if speaking and transported me to another level with your music! ... I do not have the pleasure of knowing him as the great majority of you, but my whole life I've been her fan, and I hope to share with you often!

A hugs,

Patricia.

Seems I'm the first Aussie here, so I kinda feel responsible for giving us a presence on the page. Let's share some anecdotes. I will never forget seeing Frampton at Festival Hall in 1976 with Cold Chisel in support. I wasn't satisfied till I got myself standing right in front of the stage. Found out recently another person in that front row happened to be a guy that ended up playing guitar in a band I sang in. Talk of a coincidence! I won't ramble on but more coincidences have come out of that story since. Although another anecdote I will share is that if it wasn't for Peter's instrumental "Penny For Your Thoughts" I wouldn't have passed my English poetry/literacy exam in high-school. The poem I needed fitted beautifully and to this day I can still remember that poem because of Peter's tune. So thanks Pete! I think my love of songwriting started there. Up until that point it was your guitar work that moved me, you make a guitar speak Peter. Sometimes I wonder if you are playing your guitar or if it is just speaking through you. Thanks for all the memories. They're all sweet.
