Peter Brown (singer)
Peter Brown (born July 11, 1953, Blue Island, Illinois, United States) is an American artist, songwriter and record producer. He grew up in Palos Heights, another Chicago suburb. His mother, Virginia, was artistic and musically talented and gave Peter music lessons at a young age. Peter’s father, Maurice, was an electronic engineer and unwittingly helped him learn the technical aspects of recording music. He always brought home the latest technological breakthrough - which in those days included CB and ham radios, the first color television and the first stereo record player.
Maurice also purchased a number of tape recorders which Peter played with as a child. One of these machines, a TEAC A-1200 2-track, had a feature which allowed you to transfer something you had recorded on one track to a second track, while you simultaneously recorded something new on that second track. This was Peter’s first introduction to overdubbing - which was a standard element of making recordings.

“A fanatic is a man that does what he thinks the Lord would do if He knew the facts of the case.”
—Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)
“... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.”
—Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
