The ghost of Peter Will - By N.L. Belardes
I have the N.L. Belardes ranting episode 11 podcast, an angry tribute to Peter Will, a legend of the Bakersfield music scene who recently died. I have the wondering blog as the ghost-like friend of Peter Will was hopefully going to arrive and tell me stories... and now I have the mysterious unsigned email telling of the tribute to Peter Will that many in the community have been waiting for. Read on...
"She told me about introducing me to an old friend of Peter Williams. He must not have showed, because no one approached me to talk about the sadness of Peter Will. Just who was Peter Will that the Bakersfield Music Scene killed?"
PETER WILL is not dead! Only a body that may resemble him has passed on. HE is alive and well in all of us that knew and loved him. Those of you who didn't have the pleasure to hear or know the best rock musician to ever be born in this sad little city missed a man who was placed here to rock the world. From 1987 on PETER WILL played every show like it was his last. A memorial tribute is scheduled to honor this fallen guitar hero on September 30th. It will be a two part event. DAGNY'S COFFEE CO. will host the acoustic portion of our event. Local artists will be playing his music as we celebrate the life and times of PETE who would have turned 37 on September 27th (The acoustic show is from 5-8 p.m)
The second half of our event will be at KOSMO'S (from 8 p.m. - 1:30 a.m) and is guaranteed to rock! There will be four local bands and TRAILS OF FIRE from Ventura is scheduled to headline.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE ~~~~
