Peter Langston

So many kinds of music... So little time!

About Me

I was raised in Greenwich Village during the beat era, attended college in Portland, Oregon during the Hippie era and loved both of them. Bounced from coast to coast following work (of all descriptions) in the lucrative techno-wizard biz and playing in bands (of all descriptions). Retired to Seattle in 1991 to play music and spend my savings. Am also running some music camps at the moment...
+ If you like this music you might also like the music of this (new defunct) band... The Jangles .
