Please, don't get me wrong.....as a fan, of course I'm up to hear the next Peter Green's cd, but after all that evil surrounding the courte case and surrounding the last months of the Splinter Group, then I can't see Peter involved with the music businnes anymore;it happened with Fleetwood Mac, it happened with Kolors and it happened with Splinter Group; Peter's tormented soul does not need this! Anyway it would be great to get some more and fresh news by Joe Green. Stay happy and green! Mario. |

I agree with Mario, I think. The music business is not healthy to be in..people try to take advantage of, make money out of Green. But if the "business side" of it could be minimized...a studio album with an understanding producer recorded under no stress? And he wouldn't have to play old F Mac songs...play what he wants to.

![]() I'm not sure, but I think the picture was originally called "San Francisco 2002", so it could be from one of the US tours. It's one of my favourite pics!

Maybe a small record label like Bluestown Records at Notodden, Norway, would work. That's the guys who produced Jeremy's "Precious Little", and it was Peter who recommended Notodden to Jeremy! ...well, I feel that I'm drifting away from the topic.... ![]() |

![]() It seems strange to blame the "music business" completely. When I read in an above post that Fleetwood Mac did him harm it seemed a little weird to me to be honest. If Peter head never entered the music buiness at any point in his life would be have been better off? I'm just asking.
If whatever mental issues that surfaced came along anyway, and he was driving a truck for a living, what kind of help would he have gotten? It seems to me that the people he got hooked up with did him harm, and there are unfortunately many bad ones in the "biz". By the time Elvis died it seemed like he was surrounded by yes-men, and he had no true friends. And look at Brian Wilson. He was under the influence of a real bad doctor (to put it mildly) who used his connection with Brian for personal gain. But Brian ended up getting much better once the right people were there for him. I got the feeling in reading Mick Fleetwood's autobiography that he is someone who truly feels for Pete. What if Peter had gone ahead with the deal that Mick tried to work out for him a number of years ago? I'm not a Greeny expert like many of you. So I may not be as well versed in all the details. But I think he's a guy with a beautiful soul that can use music in a very positive way. Given the perfect circumstanes and situation - whatever that might be - the best therapy for Peter is probably playing music. As long as it's on his terms. And if he ever feels the kind of vibe that is displayed on this board he will see that there are indeed people in the world that love the sound he makes with voice and guitar, and that these people have no desire to "milk" anything out of him. And if it comes to pass that Peter will never set foot on a stage or in a studio, then I hope he sits with a guitar now-and-then and plays it for himself, and it puts a little smile on his face. And I hope he hasn't become scared that every person who comes along and wants to shake his hand is looking to get something from him. |

![]() I can recall Peter mentioning "I know I'm never going to stop now" in the documentary on his recovering and Nigel getting him back on his feet, practicing at home and eventually founding the Splinter Group.......

As for the rest of your post, I agree on some level. I think music could be very comforting for Peter, it was on his terms and only for his own enjoyment. I think it's something that would have to be done outside of the typical music industry.
