He is well known among music aficionados, but your note helped everyone else, including me, know him better.

Kirby Allan is my uncle, I know him as Pete Pittman that is his real name. My Dad is a year older than him and is Kirby's older brother. We live in the Chicago land Area All of our lives. I have fond memories of going to Mesa to visit Pete when I was 10. That was forty years ago. To this day it seems that I don't really know him much, but regret not going to visit him more often. My dad looks just like him and lives in Wisconsin and yes like his brother he has chickens also. Thank-you again for writing such a sweet tribute to Kirby Allan(Pete Pittman).

It is easy to see that Monique was clearly shaped by her father. My heart breaks for all of you. <br />-Hope HallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343939021922948155.post-22021329935446567972011-06-22T19:49:57.573-07:002011-06-22T19:49:57.573-07:00Thank you for this post.
