Artist picture
I am a Folk Rock musician. My music is inspired by John Lennon and The Beatles.
As a kid I found sanctuary in the music of The Beatles. When things were bad at home I would put Meet The Beatles on my brothers turntable and dream of one day writing my own songs. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and wrote my first song at the age of 26. While my musical tastes have expanded over the years I am still a hug Beatles fan. I am a solo performer in Phoenix, Arizona. When I perform live I cover a variety of artists ranging from The Beatles and The Who to Sinatra and Gershwin. I am very excited about my latest C.D., "These Times". It's my third C.D. and this one is very different from the other two. Being a huge John Lennon fan I made an attempt at mirroring the sound from Lennon's Plastic Ono Band album. I love the feel and the sound of that album. Click on the link below to buy your copy. Thanks, Pete PETER MACINTYRE: These Times

Story behind the song
People need to take action for peace and stop waiting for someone else to show them the way. We have already been shown the way by many great people.
Lyrics
Peace Starts With You By Peter Tompkins You’ve been praying for your savior who’s sitting on a cloud in the sky to swoop down in his space ship and take you for a heavenly ride. Waiting for the next Beatles to shoot up to number one. Just flip the world a sign in 4/4 time saying All You Need Is Love. If you keep waiting for someone else to tell you tell you what to do. There might not be any people left to get a message to. Caus peace starts with you Don’t wait you might not have another day. Tomorrow’s much too late for someone else to show you the way We don’t need John and Yoko to Imagine anything Dr. Phil or Oprah talking with Larry King telling you what to do. Caus peace starts with you Don’t wait you might not have another day. Watching for the next MLK who’s got another dream or two To rise up from the ashes just to see your people through. Hoping the next JFK to show his face on CNN To stand up for the masses and give our country hope again. But If you keep waiting for someone else to tell you tell you what to do. There might not be any people left to get a message to. Cus peace starts with you Don’t wait you might not have another day. Tomorrow’s much too late for someone else to show you the way We don’t need John and Yoko to imagine anything Dr. Phil or Oprah talking with Larry King telling you what to do. Caus peace starts with you Don’t wait you might not have another day. Tomorrow’s much too late for someone else to show you the way
