The passing of Cuban Pete

The Passing of  Pedro Aguilar, aka “Cuban Pete”.

I had the pleasure of meeting and taking workshops with Cuabn Pete who I found to be just fascinating. To be in the  presence of a living legend was such a honor for me . I remember my friend Jeri Dembrak brought him here for workshops at the CheryDale Firehouse. I was so excited  i didn't sleep for 2 days.
