I saw Peter and Gordon in person when they toured with one of those now defunt traveling teenage rock and roll shows at Salina,Kansas's Memorial Hall on 7-14-65. On 10-28-00 I was lucky enough to meet the late Gordon Waller in Dallas,Texas at a charity concert he performed at. Let me tell you all Gordon was quite the gentlemen to. me. I will never forget meeting Gordon or seeing him and Peter perform live in person all those years ago and getting to hear Gordon perform plus meet him a dream come true.
