You all mean so much to us. You were there the night we realized there was more than friendship between us. You also played our wedding at the Bow Lodge 5/8/04. We had you learn "5 days in May" by Blue Monday. Thanks again.

Hints of Paul Simon's early and late years in songs like "Cold Seattle Morning" and "I and the Village.” "Behind This Train" and "Drumming in the Night:" songwriting reminiscent of Jan's earlier days in Davis, California, back at the “Delta.” The sound of Jefferson Airplane in "Market Girl." And echoes of John Mayer and Hendrix in Jan's electric guitar playing in "These Waters."

I am not the founding member of the Jan Peters fan club; that one goes to my Aunt Ellen, his mom. But I am pretty high up in seniority on that list, especially as regards the musical upbringing richly shared across our clan, including blood relatives and talented married-ins, aplenty. Jan showed special talent by grade school, and by middle school it seemed clear to me that his was an extra-special gift and that he would be singing and playing in front of audiences throughout his life, just as many of our parents, aunts and uncles were already doing, and to significant community acclaim, I must say. Now, I have to add "writing" to the lifelong singing and playing I expected, since I have now listened to a host of Jan’s original compositions, thanks to this site. (I'm old school, though. The CD is on its way in the mail; that’s when I will best appreciate “These Waters.”) What strikes me, from the website clips, as Jan at the core, the core a cousin knows, having played, dared, squabbled, shared, snuck around, and dreamed together--plenty of dreaming--are two defining qualities. First is the arranging I hear. In the pleasant melodies, the jaunty changes, the whimsical breaks, the harmonic treats, and in the dance of fickle rhythms that assert themselves, then disappear for a smoke, soon to return, acting as if they'd never left the party--I hear the complexity of Jan's musical imagination, yet with a sincerity and constance that mirror his life, as I have known it. I’m sure his band-mates have plenty to do with the emergent creation, but in the arrangements, I clearly hear my cuz, testifying. The second defining quality I note, listening, is his sweet voice, so nicely complemented by the soft, loving tones of his little sis. Maggie's rich, well blended harmonies are not only just right, they are family--and there is something special about playing with family. If you know, you know. If you don't, then give a listen and find out. The roots are from the same tree, and nothing beats that. So Maggie makes a perfect accompaniment to Jan's own sweet voice, as he delivers with both honesty and honey the lyrics and themes that prevail across the CD, mainly saying that we are all connected and that love is both the bridge needed and the chasm complicating our shared journey. Correct me on that interpretation if I'm wrong, Jan, but then, per our long, long tradition, if you do, it will simply engage the debate, not settle anything! It takes a cousin to hold to "I know what you mean better than you do," and I am definitely up to the task. It's a big tree, whose roots we share. Thanks for the music, past, present and still to come, Cuz. I may send along a song or two of my own for you to check out. . . in the family tradition. - MPZ, 2-25-09

Hi Jan,
I am so glad you contacted me. I am from KSER 90.7, and I host Floating World on Sundays. I absolutly fell in love with your music when I heard you play at the coop in Mt. Vernon. Do you ever play for contra dances? If you are interested, I know some places in Seattle and Bellingham that would love to have you. Meanwhile, I sure would like to get my hands on something I could play on the air. Thank you again,
Diana

Right on Man! The more I listen, the more I love it. Took a minute to get used to the studio sound (for me always a difficult transition), but I really love the CD and love the site.
