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).

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 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

When in heaven's name is RCA/DGG/whomever going to release Blue Fantasy on CD?!?! It is a travesty that the finest American music since Rhapsody in Blue is not available in the current catalog. Shame!

My wife ( Mary Lou) and I saw you in person years ago at Chastain Park in Atlanta...and a few years after that saw you with ( I believe) Mel Torme, again at Chastain. I have most, if not all of your albums ( 33s)...some I found at flea markets. Are you familiar with the Gospel Mass?> I've been listening to it and immediately thought of you when hearing the piano accompaniment.Hope to have the opportunity to see/hear you again in
person.

I have been listening and enjoying your recorded piano performances for 50 years and am a union member. I hope you are victorious in the infernal struggle between professional union musicians and the uninitiated people who only understand money and not the real value of you and our other unique artists on this planet!
If there is anything others of us in the union can do to assist you in this struggle, please have your people contact any of the other unions!
Your musical and artistic contributions to our lives are incredibly enriching.
Thank you,
Michael Mathew

I am enjoying the postings of your performances on You Tube and have missed your sojourns to South Alabama. I still groove with my CDs of your jazz and 20th century romanticism. Keep it up for all of us that have enjoyed you for so long.

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a wonderful day.
I would like to know if you played in New Orleans at a club in the early 1950's. I have several of your CD's and saw a picture of you when you were a young man who looks very much like the piano player that I enjoyed so much at that club. Sorry I can't remember the name of the player or the club. Love your music.
Have a wonderful birthday and hope you enjoy many more.
Thanks,

Dear Peter ---
My wishes to you for a very happy Birthday! And I was shocked recently to learn you wished to retire ... but you inspired me so much in thos early days, I am now successfully entertaining others because of all I learned from you in those early days ... and so additionally, I say, thanks for the inspiration!
(I hope you will change your mind about retirement!)
Best wishes always,
"Nan Cherie"
One of your most ardent fans since the '60s!

Dear Mr. Nero,
I have been looking through the online info and cannot find when you will be appearing this summer. However, I thought of a great theme for one of your Peter Nero and the Philly Pop Shows - The Greatest Hits of Peter Nero. There are so many that you can include beginning with your early recordings - Bluesette, Its All right with Me, I Got Plenty of Nothing, West Side Story Medley (which I know you have done with the Pops), through the Summer of 42 to Sunday in New York, then into the Gershwin, Cole Porter,Johnny Mercer, and perhaps your favorites. It would be fabulous. You have never done that but always seem to insert something that you love. How about an entire show?! Looking forward to the next season, but would also like to know of a show that we may attend this summer. Thank you! Barb Kunkel

Dear Peter,
I have had season tickets for the past 7 years or so, and I am interested in where you are appearing with your jazz combo or as a guest conductor this summer. Attended your Villain Performance today and thought it was terrific but I must admit that I was disappointed that you didn;t have anything from Dr. Jekyll Mr Hyde - there was a great song for the two female singer and Dr. Jekyll - with the beautiful voices, it would have been fabulous. In any event, would like to attend a summer event. Thank you very much! Barb Kunkel

Hi Peter, Recently I found an LP, of you that I hadn't listened to for years, it's Peter Nero plays Born Free. I've been playing it quite a lot lately and both my two children 17yrs and 13yrs really like it. Then I got thinking about you and wondered where all these missed years that I'd lost contact with your music had taken you. I was really happy to find you looking incredible youthful, happy and still playing beautiful music. May God give you lots more years to continue on your lifes journey. God Bless. (I'm now off to catch up on all my missed music years of you).

Dear Peter,
Just love "Sunday in New York". It's the Coolest! It's got such a New York sound. Can't find piano sheet music for it. Is it available to buy? I'm a singer & would love to sing that song someday.
Do you ever perform in New York? Would be a Blast to hear you play "Sunday in New York" at a place like
The Carlyle, Birdland, or Jazz Standard.
I'm drawing the cartoons & writing music for my animated jazz short, "The Jazz Mouse" It's 10 minutes long & takes place in South Chicago in the 1930's with Black American characters.
Do you know any good jazz pianists in NYC who
could help me arrange my music? I compose by ear
but need someone who can score correctly & who
gets the raw improv jazz from early 1930's
Hope to see you perform in New York on Sunday!
All the Best, Mimi Brennan
