Rare Earth Status

First off I want to say how glad I am Gil Bridges is still carrying the torch that burns all the way back to the Sunliners. Also I know Pete Rivera is doing his own thing these days, but how well does he and Gil get along. Just curious.


Man are those two guys talented.

Mickey,
I believe that Pete and Gil made their peace with one another quite some time ago.. Due to the fact that they live on opposite sides of the country, I don't think they correspond all that much.

By the way, speaking of Pete Rivera, Russ is on his way to Spokane as we speak to do a few sessions with Pete. Pete's new act, that is basically an unplugged version of what he has done in the past, seems to be creating a good buzz. There will be some video being shot of these sessions which I will post.

Is Pete playing a gig in Spokane? Didn't see one listed in the local paper.....

[ralpht]

No, Doug,
He lives in Spokane.
