Pete Rose A Singer/Songwriter Of Passion!

Well the other day I was in a TV studio waiting to be interviewed & I met a lot of nice people but most of all passionate & determined. Pete Rose had an interesting story because he started his musical career in 1967 song writing & singing. He performed with legends like Elton Britt,Marvin Rainwater,Bobby Helms & Tommy Cash, brother of Johnny Cash.He even wrote Second Time Around for him but when he contacted Tommy he no longer needed it so Pete made it the title cut of his album.In 1973 he had his own cable TV show in Haverstraw,NY (Rockland County).One day he went home,looked around & said to himself,"there's no one here.That's all right;I don't want anyone around me anyway".He sat at the table and wrote "I Don't Want Anyone Around Me" in 10 minutes. He played with and had his own band Pete Rose & The Southern Drifters from 1974-1979. That's when he moved his family to Central New York.This is when he made a choice to give up his singing/songwriting career in order to devote his time to raising his family. All of his music that he writes is from his heart & life experiences;the ups & downs we all go through.His songs are played internationally in such places as Australia,Belgium,Denmark,The Netherlands,New Zealand to name a few and in selected places in the United States.In August 2007 after almost 30 years in retirement he performed with Tommy Cash & has since than begun to write music.Since 2008 he has completed 2 new Cd's and a 2 song DVD he made in Nashville. Tell It To My Heart is an album of train songs,lost loves and songs from his heart.He also has a Gospel album The Lord Is Waiting For Me.Since his return he was recently a guest on Keeping Country Strong. So after sacrificing to raise his family he's emerged back with what never left him.His Passion for singing and songwriting.
