Written from a someone else's perspective. The most remarkable thing about this recording is it captured the final phrasing, the writing, of the song. One of my favorites..

Puzzle Piece

This was the first song I wrote, inspired the night of Harry Chapin's untimely death. I finally recorded it on my second CD, Threads. The production by Pete Snell combined with Armando Compean's wonderful bass and Lee Spath on brush drums give this an outstanding vibe. That's Bob Fernandez on percussion and some of those alternative sounds while Mike Bolger plays that haunting trumpet.

Dragon Song

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.

Troubadour

Two weeks before my sister Tracy's wedding, she asked me to write a song and sing it  - at -  her    -   reception. I reminded Tracy that it took me five years just to write our grandma's song, "Family". I told her it was impossible. No, I wouldn't do it.   

I hung up the phone, and started playing what became "Now It's We".

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.
