Heartfelt condolences on the passing of Peter. May the music you made about love and peace resonate throughout the universe.

Condolences-- The last time (and far from the first!) I saw all three of you together was in Portland-- with Marshall Dodge-- at a fundraiser. Great show. My granddaughter (11) is a huge fan. Must be the DNA All Best, Mike

Hi Noel, Have had you strongly in mind and heart during this deeply wrenching time in relation to Peters' health and the timeless comradeship you have with him over the years. My small connection with him, although it feels vast and deep, has been a friendship since the 80's. am reminded of one time, it may have been at Carnegie Hall when Peter invited me backstage and there was an in between time, when I found myself spiritually drawn to guitar playing in one of the rooms. For awhile, I didn't know who was playing, I just felt drawn to the music, and so mesmerized that I couldn't move from that spot. At some point later, the door opened and it was clear that that was you. In my entire life, I have neither before nor after the playing, heard playing that was so gentle and spiritually connective. I don't remember if I ever told you that. It came back to me during this time period. Thank you for all you evoke and bring to light with your music and spirit. It's a beautiful thing to have you in the world!

Noel - I have just learned of Peter’s frail condition and working my way through his Living Memorial pages can’t help but marvel at how interwoven and deeply parallel your life’s work has remained all these decades. No surprise actually - but has me reaching your way too with prayers as the world reaches to your brother with life-affirming joyful blessings. God bless us everyone

I was deeply affected by your early solo musc, and "Wedding Song" was played at my wedding. We are about to celebrate our 50th! I was intrigued by your report under "About>Faith" that when you sang the song at Peter's wedding, that you changed the opening "He" to "I." I'm curious: Did you change the pronouns for the entire first verse? As in: "I am now to be among you at the calling of your hearts. Rest assured this troubadour is acting on My part. The union of your spirits here has caused Me to remain, for whenever two or more of you are gathered in My name, there is love, oh there’s love."?

Listening to PP&M sing "Early in the morning" with the prophetic words: "Lord, help me find the way". I'm thankful He showed you the way to the promised land as He did me a few years after you. Your life and music has been a rock in my life for many decades. Thank you

We were at Tinder Hearth in October and I told a story about how, about twenty years ago, I was traveling late at night in Iowa listening and scraping through the FM offerings when I stopped on 'Hymn' playing. After it finished, the DJ said, "File this next one under homophones," and then played Rupert Holmes song, "Him"... I laughed all the way to Illinois (and then some). Driving home from Tinder Hearth, through the convenience of Apple, I played those two songs again. I knew you were out there, close-by in Blue Hill. After nearly forty years of teaching in Boston, I moved to Winter Harbor. Thanks for all the music. You are a wonderful representative of faith. I hope you are able to be on the earth as long as you wish and imagine. If you ever want some pizza before closing time, I'd be glad to treat...

Noel, I've seen you twice at Notre Dame, and once more recently in Anchorage. Mary went before shortly after. I swear that a third of the freshmen in my dorm brought guitars, and PP&M were much of the reason. (Well, John, Paul, George and Richard had some influence.) You sighed my Minolta camera case. Anyway, preparing for a grandson's wedding, I took some liberty with the Wedding Song lyrics. Maybe it's no improvement, but maybe ... V1 He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts Know your humble troubadour is acting on His part The union of your spirits has caused him to remain For wherever two or more of you are gathered in His name There is love. There is love V2 Well a man shall leave his mother, and a woman leave her home They shall travel on to places where as one they will be known As it was in the beginning, is now until the end Woman joins her life to man, love creating life again There is love. Oh, there is love Bridge Well then what’s to be the reason for becoming man and wife Is it love that gives life meaning or love that brings new life For if love came down from heaven, then whom should we adore Can you believe in something that you’ve never known before? Oh, there’s love. There is love V3 (Hum 1st 2 lines) The marriage of your spirits has caused him to remain For wherever two or more of you are gathered in His name There is love. There is love
