About Me
- peter
- i've been a sports junkie my whole life (fan of the White Sox, Blackhawks, Bulls and Sting as a kid) and have been lucky to make a career out of my passion. i've promoted soccer (mostly in Chicago) since 1987 and have been fortunate to work with some really talented people who have helped me earn six championship rings in three pro soccer leagues. i'm now working to make it seven and four with the Chicago Red Stars of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS).

I have also seen MAD ABOUT MUSIC more than once. I believe the world record is 144 times! Also, MAD ABOUT MUSIC is celebrating its 70th year in 2008. The world's largest Deanna Durbin website has heaps of trivia about the movie and the whole film can be watched in ten parts.

Best wishes,

144 is a lot....i'm a Deanna nut and i've only seen it about 20 times, but my friend Mike who introduced me to Durbin world 30 years ago may have seen it more than 100 times. i will check on that and report back. I Love to Whistle
Hey Peter, you can come up and visit us in Alaska anytime you want!
Thanks Noah. My goal is to make it there before March, 2010, so i can make it to all 50 before i'm 50. Alaska's kind of a big place. Exactly where are you, Noah?
I hear they have some great Branson shows!
