Thursday
Peter sings,
“We were driving down the Main Street of America
Young and free and so misunderstood
Looking for the exit sign
A place to ease our mind
Some kept moving on
Some will stay for good
Oh in this town”
IMHO (in my humble opinion) THIS TOWN is one of Peter’s finest songs.
I think he really captures the spirit and feeling of home coupled with the yearning and desires of wanting to be free. At the same time there is attraction and also a sense of repelling.
Tonight Peter brings the Stars and Promises tour to St. Louis. It will be an amazing show because there is a connection between Peter and “this town.” The mighty Mississippi brings energy to the community. Familiar places like Gus’ Pretzels http://www.guspretzels.com/ Ted Drewes http://www.teddrewes.com/Drewes.asp, Dad’s Cookies http://www.dadscookies.com/ along with Gethsemane Lutheran Church
http://www.gethsemanestl.org/ all stir up wonderful memories and make me recall “the story of Christmas” which we experienced in St. Louis.

Joyfully,
