I was the first to witness Peter Nero when he first appeared after his graduation from Juilliard School of Performing Arts. We lived in Oklahoma City, OK then, and it has been a truly remarkable memory. I just wanted to say hello, and you taught me some of the things I could not do !! I am truly IMPRESSED. You do a fine job.

I had the pleasure of first seeing you in Sacramento CA in 1962 or 63. I have been a fan ever since. And what a treat it was to see you again in STCharles MO and then in Columbia MO this year. You blew me away with your talent. Put Branson on you list of Missouri cities to visit and play.. We will be there. we go to sleep every night with you music. god bless Clyde
Have Peter's first album and many others since.
Being a classical pianist, I really admire his style of jazz. He's one of the few really great jazz artists around. Thanks Peter for many years of enjoyment.
....Mr. Nero,it´s me again, after seven months, I want you to know this amazing story....After seven months, I found, your "Sunday in N. York", on vinyl, from 1964, it´s almost new, it's incredible....I found it,at a flea market....immediately, I ask a friend to pass it on CD, as it deserves....thanks

May 22, 2014....Happy 80th Birthday today Peter! 8 is the fortuitous number in the Chinese culture , and so we, your fans, are doubly blessed that your brilliant artistry has tickled the 88 ivories 'lo these many years! You are such a gift to the world; thank you for your hard work and sharing your wonderful style and talent with us all. It was a supreme pleasure to hear your play in concert in Ashland KY a couple of weeks ago, and it fulfilled a dream of mine to see you perform. And to chat with you afterwards, was truly a treat, because you are as interesting, intelligent and generous a person as you are a pianist....an inimitable one at that. Your charming sense of humor is the icing on the cake, so have some cake today and make a wish!
Happy birthday! I own several of your albums,and I saw you in person twice at the Melodyland Theatre in Anaheim,Calif.. In 1967 you appeared with Robert Goulet and Norm Crosby. In 1969 you appeared with Ed Ames. In the early '90s you signed one of your album jackets I had given to the limo driver who picked you up for a performance in Sun City West,AZ.
Dear Peter, I started listening to his records since childhood, thanks to my father, the late '50s. Just great! I hope to buy some CDs of his unlimited production, ordering them in America, because in its official website I've seen that does not have them anymore. So I can get them to listen to my daughter Joy I. I wish you all the best and again congratulations for his infinite class.

Wow! I have heard of Peter Nero most of my life,and I am so glad I got to hear him play. It is great to meet someone who has been in this business as long as mr. Nero,who still has the intensity , and love for the music. Most importantly what a nice guy!
Thanks for the music!
Peter, What a thrill you see you again! Last time working together w/ the Florida Philharmonic, this time at the Krannert Center (@ University of Illinois)! How great to have you with us! You're just THE best! Next time back, how about an OBOE master class for my students? All my best always, John Dee
Peter and the San Diego Symphony played brilliantly last Friday evening. Personal anecdotes and insights about Gershwin added much to the evening's program. Another performance to cherish. An unbeatable combination: an amazing pianist and the music of an original contributor to the Great American Songbook. Thank you, Peter. Very few pianists can match what you do. It was grand hearing a live performance of my favorite Gershwin composition, Concerto in F.
Hi again, Pete. Lori & I really enjoyed the concert last Saturday night & especially the visit after-wards. I am writing so that you can get back with us with your E-Mail address & we can stay in touch from now on. Would you like to give me Peggy's contact info also? Look forward to staying in touch. Charlie & Lori Palmer
My name is Gay Goetz and you are the reason Ibecame a professional pianist. My mother took me to see you perform at Memorial Hall in Dayton (1962) I was 8 years old end I didnt take my eyes of that trio the whole time. I TRIED TO IMMATATE you. I even tried to learn that classic West Side Story medley. I would give anything to get my hands on that score and really learn it proper as I still listen to it these days. All the best to you Peter. you influenced my life. Sincerely, Gary
when the world can no longer listen to peter nero play the piano
that's the day "the music died".
thank you peter!
Hello Mr.Peter Nero! I am writing from Brazil and I and my brother Carlos, we are grateful to you for playing the songs in a very special and so melodious. All the tunes for you, have a great importance for us as it brings back memories of a past that we had, with great harmony, health and happiness. Thanks also for the great opportunity to give us this magnificent space on your site, to write! I know you're a busy man, but if it were possible we would like to receive a response from this e-mail from you. Here in Brazil you have a large fan base. Sincerely, Celso Tomisawa I apologize for my english
Dear Peter,
My mother was a piano teacher who had a great fondness for Gershwin. While in my teens she purchased your New Piano in Town album for me and I immediately loved it. Six albums later and still going strong I just couldn't get enough. Then it was off to college, career, marriage, children (life) and my vinyl just gathered dust. I retired a couple of years ago and now at 66 finally resurrected my old stereo system. The first album I grabbed was Peter Nero in Person. I listened to that entire album like it was the very first time and became filled with your unique talent to the point of tears. I can't tell you how much I have loved your music and what an effect it has had on my life. Some days aren't so good and my wife will say I think you need a Nero fix. Sure enough I put on one of your old albums and a feeling of euphoria overtakes ever part of my body and mind and I am again at peace. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with me through your piano playing. I will forever enjoy every note of every one of your songs.
Dear Mr. Nero,
What a delightful concert this afternoon!

Maestro, 13 Lockes made their annual Christmas pilgrimage Saturday Night! Row D front and center This was the best ever! with a(Gangham Style!) With an especiallly dream like White Christmas! Thank you for your outstanding leadership, musicianship and showmanship all these wonderful years! Look foward to your next two series! All the best!!
Peter Nero- I loved the Pops show tonight and I love your ease, passion, and your stunning piano playing of White Christmas, among others.
Could have heard more from that gospel group.
I teach music to K-8 students, and want you to come to my school.
Is this a possibility?
Maestro Nero -- you are quite a phenomenon and my folk and I love your music. My parents have had a regular subscription to Philly Pops for a few years! Did you arrange the West Side Story Suite in 1963 or 1964? It's quite splendid! Have you ever the heard the one done by Manny Albam back in 1957?
Peter - Please come to Heinz Hall or Music For Mt. Lebanon. Caught you at both places. Before the technology changed, I owned 30 of your albums. I particularly like Blue Fantasy on the Love Trip album. Wish everything were available on CD.
Your biggest Pittsburgh fan,
Craig Zinger, pianist
P.S. I turn the big Six 0 on January 9th (2013).
HI Peter,We miss you.Will we ever see you in Fla?
The Encore Series in Philadelphia has made a serious mistake in not extending the contract of Peter Nero with the Philly Pops. Mr. Nero IS the Philly Pops. We wish you continued success and hope that your solo career will include appearances in the Philadelphia area which we hope will remain your home.
...."just for her"...what a beatiful song, Mr. Nero...what a beatiful song...thanks for it...ricardosanmartin

Just bought the next to last used copy of "Peter Nero at The Piano". This book should be re- issued, I'm just going nuts over Peter's arrangement of "Night and Day"
The "Piano Forte" album along with the "On Tour" should also be re- issured on CD!
Hi
I was lucky to find a brand new copy of ''Peter Nero play song's you won't forget'' on eBay but really, this album deserves the big treatment: remastering and burning to CD. They did it for Ramsey Lewis The Movie Album so why not? Don't tell me the master tapes are no more? I hope they are still around in a vault along with all your recordings. Thank you for this classic album,your ''Hello Dolly'' is unbeatable.The best. So any chance of that happening one day? Thank you. Simon
