About the Songwriter
Started performing in 1959 at age 15 for the open mike at the Ten 0’Clock Scholar coffee house in Dinkytown, across from the U of M campus in Minneapolis. (Dylan had played there two years earlier in between Hibbing and New York.) Composed my first song in 1960 (super soppy), inspired by Ricky Nelson. Did my first sharable song (Apple Picnic) in 1975. Performed with Al Waterson as the duo Salt and Pepper (otherwise known as Waterson and Peet) on the Windjammer Cruise in Honolulu in the mid 70s. Played numerous gigs with my wife Libby as the duo Bill and Libby Peet in Central Florida from 2000 to 2004. Have composed one or two songs every five years or so, until inspired by the SSA (Songwriters Showcases of America) in Daytona Beach and the Songwriters Circle in Kansas City, where my output is approaching one a month. I consider “Common Ground,�? the song pulled here, to be one of my best, along with “Paris Hilton Justice.�?

Dec 19, 2007Good song, and unfortunately it's true. Me or you would still be in jail and no one would give a damn.

Jan 25, 2008This song makes me laugh and at the same time makes me frown. You speak the truth and sometimes it hurts. Good writing.

Jan 27, 2008Nicely said. The sad thing about our system is that this kind of justice will continue on and on.

May 09, 2008Intriguing look at how we treat celebs. Why do we give these people, of which many are truly idiots, so much of our attention? Anyway, good music.
