I AM THE MUHAMMAD ALI OF MUSIC

About Me

My name is Pete Silas and I am a musical guerilla. I take what I want from all styles and create my own. I play touches of Jazz, Classical, Pop, Soul but I am primarily a Rocker, a true Rocker, i worship at the Alter of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Elvis, Little Richard(People always think I'm trying to copy Elvis when I've always copied Little Richard) and Jerry Lee Lewis. If you want the watered down stuff that we have today, I am not for you. I am a throwback to the 50's. See my video on my space or on www.petesilas.com. "WHEN THE WORLD BURSTS APART AT IT'S SEAMS I WILL THINK OF A GIRL I LOVED ONCE WHEN I WAS YOUNG"(THE CREATURE-CHERYL SUITE) See my video here and now, I am the greatest, the prettiest, the baddest man in Seattle, see the pics, I look like a Chinese Elvis, all squinty eyed. SEE THE VIDEO NOW!!!! CLICK ON THE ABOVE VIDEO LINK IF YOU WANT TO BE FRIGHTENED!! I am a little bit Street and a little bit geek I am a streetpoet, the one who watches and feels but does not get too close, the one who speaks for those that can't speak for themselves. I am....A StreetGeek!

Springsteen’s Radio Nowhere

RADIO NOWHERE---I didn't think bruce had the same compelling drive to come up with a tune like this. I thought those days were lost to the rewards of mass success. This song is every bit as good as an...

You taught me the true value of love and joy.  You loved me as I was.  You gave me everything you could and then some.  You created a sweet solace that locked the rest of the world out....
