A friend of mine, Jeff Marinelli, wrote this  poem titled "The Ballad of Pete & Heather". I loved the poem so, I arranged it in this song.  Jeff's original inspiration was from a John Lennon work, The Alphabet Poem. The 'H' was for the girl I was dating at the time.  This is from my elements album, 2005.

Ballad of Pete & Heather

2021 -If Steve Earle and Elvis Costello got pissed enough to write political tunes, they would sound like Pete Kronowitt songs. Pete writes songs with hooks, a dash of alt-country, a smidgen of something familiar yet new; catchy songs ranging from acoustic alternative pop and country to Indie with progressive lyrical phrasing but who likes being categorized? Pete founded Face the Music Collective, a guide for creative activists utilizing performances to inspire targeted individual action, one event at a time. With 5 albums to his credit, Pete Kronowitt combines performing and activism. Pete’s new album, Do Something Now, was released in September 2020.
