BEST Documentary EVER, 25 July 2005

For Seattleites, this picture is very LOCAL - - for all other places around the world, it touches the hearts of many.

It is the story about a man who has struggled to make a living as a street musician, putting everything he has earned into producing audio recordings, battling injuries thru the rugged wear and tear of standing alone on his own two feet in making many OTHERS see inside themselves, thus being discovered (and rewarded) by the music industry.

Two others that are not listed in the cast credits here include GARY CROW, a Dee-Jay legend in Seattle (http://www.kzok.com/airstaff/crow.shtml), and ROSS SHAFER, initial host of Northwest TV's "ALMOST LIVE" in the 80's, later to be known national in hosting "The New Match Game", and further becoming FOX Network's FIRST talk host with "The Late Show", having one significant program he personslly arranged featuring the ENTIRE living cast of 'Gilligan's Island' (all 7 including Tina) being together on TV for the last time in 1988.

Richard is doing fine and is now in the studio recording his 5th CD release, "Richard Peterson's UnGreatest Hits"
