Pictures from the Seventies
	1971 - 3 guys on a hill by Angela Sanders Here I am on vacation from school somewhere in Wales, wearing a big hat and thinking about the big time with my friends Don Sanders (centre), and Dave Woolford, (right).		Rock Stars - Tower Theatre by Randy Armor "At the Tower Theatre, Philadelphia PA. Taken on the Al Stewart "Time Passages" tour in Autumn 1978 by Randy Armor. From left to right: Adam Yurman, Al Stewart, Robin Lamble and PW. Yes we were rock stars, no doubt about it."
	Rock Star 1 - Tower Theatre by Randy Armor Take a look at the guitar strap- it is an Indian (native American) belt given to me by my friend Bob Ratliffe. Also check out the scarf, given to me by a fan which I wore because it made me feel like Keith Richard.		Rock Star 2 - Tower Theatre by Randy Armor I'm playing my Gibson Les Paul guitar, the same one that I was carrying when I met my idol, Jimmy Page (see the FAQs) in an elevator in Hollywood, CA. He was not carrying his Les Paul guitar at the time because I'm quite sure he had people to do that for him.
	45rpm - Song On The Radio A similar pose to the 1978 Tower Theatre group shot, and then used (without my permission...) for a 45rpm single. From left to right- Adam Yurman, Robin Lamble, Al Stewart and me, PW. I'm amazed that Al seems to be wearing a tie, something that I don't remember him doing in almost 20 years of touring.
Pictures from the Eighties
	On tour with Al Stewart in San Francisco by Jenny Fung This photo was taken by Jenny Fung, who I didn't know at the time, but has since become a great friend and photo journalist. She keeps exquisite documentation which is why I know exactly when this photo was taken. April 21st 1981. Thanks Jenny!		On Tour 1988 Taken at the Roxy Theatre, W.Hollywood, CA in Autumn 1988. I was on tour with Al Stewart to promote his CD "Last Days Of The Century". After 12 years with Al I was getting ready to record on my own. Very soon after this tour I started work on my first CD "Reveillez-Vous", (means wake up in French). To the right, on drums and slightly out of frame, is Steve Chapman who became my manager and still is to this day.
	Publicity - 1988 by Adam Yurman. This photo formed the basis of the sleeve of Peter's first CD "Reveillez-Vous"		1988 - University of Rhode Island by Randy Armor After the initial trepidation about playing without a band, we got into the swing of it and these shows became really exhilarating for me. We were flying by the seat of our pants on most nights because we never rehearsed the show. The arrangements came out of playing live.
Pictures from the Nineties
	1991 - Chestnut Cabaret, Philadelphia by Randy Armor "This photo of Al Stewart and I, taken before the the show was used on the Rhymes in Rooms" CD jacket. I had put duct tape on my guitar to try and minimize feedback. It didn't do a very good job and I have since found out that they make inserts for guitar soundholes that work much better!"		1991 Chestnut Cabaret, Philadelphia - Accordion by Randy Armor "Go ahead- laugh all you want, but I have actually played accordion on many recordings- not only my own, but with Al Stewart, Basia, Dave Koz, 3rd Force, and most recently in 2003, Mindy Abair. Check out "City of Lights" on my Caravan of Dreams CD for some of my best accordion playing...."
	1994 Publicity shot by Lori Stoll		Belmont Park, San Diego 1992 by Gary Muterspaw One of the first shows with my own band. There was a rollercoaster nearby that clattered by every now and again. Because of that rollercoaster I learnt that anything that happens during the show becomes part of the show. So we would stop and get really quiet anytime it came by.

	September 20th 1998 - Tenaya Lodge, Yosemite, CA by Amy Tanouye This was my 44th birthday and I just felt like reaching out and touching someone.		Tenaya Lodge, Yosemite CA - September 20th 1998 by Amy Tanouye I told you it was my birthday! I am presented with a cake on stage.
	May 1998 - Maui Music Festival by Amy Tanouye "The Maui Music Festival was always one of the high points of the year. Held on Memorial Day weekend it is now sadly defunct. Here I am jamming with Boney James in a photo taken by Amy Tanouye, who can safely claim to be one of my biggest fans, if not the biggest, having been to over 100 of my shows. Hi Amy!"		Summer 1999 German Tour by Susan Youngblood " In the summer of 1999 I did a few show in Germany with Rick Braun. (His German is a lot better than mine!) We had a great time playing with German musicians and I particularly enjoyed drinking the German beer! Thanks to Susan Youngblood for putting this tour together".

	1999 - with Kirk Whalum by Mark Santistevan Kirk Whalum is one of my very favourite saxophone players. Here we are jamming together at the Capitol Jazz Fest in Columbia, Maryland in June 1999. Shot by talented photographer Mark Santistevan from a very great distance!

	"Jam Session anyone?" Guitars and Saxes 2003 - Fort Worth, Texas Left to right: Steve Cole, Jeff Golub. PW and Richard Elliot.		Spring 2001 by Myriam Santos-Kayda My very favourite ever publicity shot. Taken in someone's back yard in Hollywood, CA (Yes, in the Hollywood Hills.)
		March 2002 - Cape Coral, FL by Monalee Humesky This series of pictures was taken by Monalee Humesky in Cape Coral, Florida. It was an outdoor show on a beautiful warm night. Playing with me were Allon Sams, Andre Berry, Clyde Davis, and Michael Paulo. We drove overnight from Alabama for this show, and I remember it as one of the most enjoyable shows of the year. The audience was warm and friendly- I could see the ocean and on such a beautiful night it felt good to be alive!

	KSBR Bash - May 26, 2002 by Pat Benter Every year radio station KSBR puts on a show in San Juan Capistrano CA. Many musicians show up to jam and on this occasion I sat in with flugelhorn player Tony Guerrero. The band stopped at one point and I just crouched down and listened as Tony played a beautiful solo rendition of "America the Beautiful". It was beautiful.

		St Joseph, Michigan - July 12 2008 Some shots from the spectacular Jazz At Sunset show in St Joseph, Michigan. Many thanks to Kim Dyer for the photos.
