You may not know or know of Peter Blecha, but I do. Peter and I have been acquaintances if not friends for a number of years and I have watched his growth as a writer and music historian with great interest. We share an intense interest in the Pacific Northwest music scene, past and present, and we both revered the music and the bands which inhabited the various periods in the Pac NW music saga. We know that the rest of the world, if not for The Sonics and Paul Revere & The Raiders, would consider the music scene minor league at best, but have always considered the rest of the world ignorant of the music and artists who seemingly have and have had to struggle for respect beyond the borders of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.

You can thank Chris Ashford at Wondercap Records for this preemptive strike on your Christmas lists. You do have a Christmas list, right? What?! You don’t! Well, maybe it’s time you did because that really cool gift you want to give your girl or guy or your best friend could very well be gone by the time time the turkey hits the table and the really mad rush begins (or, in the case of the States, continues). What could possibly be the cool gift item this year? A hybrid car? If you’re rich. A handmade macaroni-trimmed picture of you and the wife on the first date? (If you want to kiss that sorry marriage goodbye) A box of chocolates?
