"NYPDF BLUES" Peter Thompson with The Paul Richards Band at The Pierre Hotel

A little impromptu medley of "Flip, Flop & Fly/Stormy Monday Blues" jam with the band when I took my harmonica to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation's 2009 Bal du Printemps Gala at The Pierre Hotel, New York City, on May 12th. Over $700,000 raised in one night for Parkinson's research. See www.pdf.org

The band is "THE PAUL RICHARDS BAND" one of New York's finest. They back up Tony Bennett sometimes and played at Donald Trump's wedding.

Wonderful performance Peter. Thanks for helping Parkinson's Disease!!! Hope you are feeling well, I know each day is a challenge. Good Luck on your Band! You sound and look great!

It's not my band, unfortunately. I don't even know who they were. They just told me to come up and play five minutes earlier. I would love to work with them but I am about 500 miles away doing law instead of what I like to do!!

Congrats, Peter. You sound as though to the blues genre born! Love it!!!

Excellent musicians!!!

Will forward this to some of my musician friends especially those who loved your "Taking a Dive Heart First" cd!!!

Thanks for the votes of confidence! I am still working on the name of the group. It was just one of those times when the planets aligned for me with the great back up band and no plan, no warning, no cues, no song discussed, just going with the flow and trying to do my bit for Parkinson's research. My own little Back to the Future...maybe I can jam with Michael J. Fox one day!

This rocks! Good tunes for a great cause! When you have 'enough' money from law you should really hit the music hard! Are you still playing guitar?

[camerashy1967]

Awesome!! clearly this is what you love to do!!!

[KURIOUSKASSIDY]

Well, you are awesome, wow is all I can say. I absolutely LOVE that music, so does Kassidy, my little girl, is she starts to hear any rock/blues number, she starts tapping her foot and we see a little hip action and then, well, she is someone that I honestly think has the music & art bug born in her!! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree I guess. Thanks for you invite on flickr, I LOVED it Peter, Take Good Care of yourself, and if you'd like to conversate - just let me know!!! butterfly724
