PETER: In December 2023 I went to Nashville for a two week writing stint. My first session, the morning after I arrived, was with Josh, set up through mutual friends. JOSH: We’d never met before. He walked into my garage studio — the door was open — and after a little while, I showed up. PETER: There was an immediate connection! JOSH: We sat down with guitars, and before lunch, we had written “Missed Opportunities.” PETER: By the afternoon, we were recording it! JOSH: Right away, it reminded me of classic ’60s sunshine pop, which is a new direction for me. I’m usually more of a ’70s mellow guy. PETER: It felt a shame to not continue..but I was busy with other booked sessions. JOSH: Peter had a packed schedule that month, so we mostly crossed paths at shows and bars around town, but on the day he was flying home, we squeezed in one more session — suitcase by the door. PETER: We wrote "Running away from it all", recorded that, and Josh then kindly drove me to the airport. JOSH: Later, my friend Marc Pisapia added some beautifully groovy drums and percussion. What started as demos started sounding like little records PETER: There was an unspoken feeling there had to be a continuation of this.. In 2024 we did four shows together in Norway and Sweden and again; a great report.. We'll see what happens next. JOSH: We’ve talked about doing more — maybe even starting a Dad Power Pop band. 2028 maybe. PETER: Can't wait! For now, enjoy these two nuggets!
