I had to make a quick trip to Sebastian Florida to help with my Mom after a Hospital stay and have been away from computers for a couple of weeks so I haven't posted anything lately.
The timing of my trip turned out to be very special as the day after I arrived, my sister (Pam Harris) got a call to inform her that the City of Sebastian was dedicating a plaque to honor her late husband Pete Harris at Riverview Park on the upcoming Saturday which I was able to attend.
Listen to a sample of Pete's Music - Sebastian Song
Pete Harris was a song writer and musician. He was sort of a local legend in Sebastian and South Florida with his unique style and original songs about living in Florida.
Many of his songs were about Sebastian, Micco, Sebastian River, the Intercoastal Waterway and even about local people and places.
Pete had many followers from the Ft Lauderdale, Delray Beach and Boca Raton areas that would travel to see him at Ozzies or Captain Hiram's Resort while he was becoming an Icon in Sebastian.
Pete lost a battle with brain cancer two years ago but his memories and music will live on forever.

Hi Don! Love your photographs of Florida. A beautiful place that I would love to visit one of these days. I have an uncle who lives in Daytona Beach and I want to visit him so very much, just have not been able to financially yet. Thanks for keeping Pete's music alive. I had never heard of him until I clicked through from your site. He had a great voice, love the music, and have put purchasing his CDs on my wish list for Christmas for The Man Thing to get me LOL! My condolences to his wife and family.
