A big “Thank You!”

November 25, 2008 by Peter 

I would like to say thanks to Tom and Rick and all the guys in the band Tom Vella and the Wayside. A while back I was down in Hoboken and happened to catch their show and I was blown away by their music. They have a little bit of everything to offer when it comes to styles, but one song in particular really caught my attention. At that time I had just finished shooting Kim and Geoff’s engagement photos in Hoboken and when I heard “The One” being played I knew that I wanted to use that song for the slide show I was putting together for Kim and Geoff. Since Geoff was living in Hoboken at the time and the we shot some engagement photos there it just seemed right.

Now, as most of the folks that follow my blog know I am kind of a stickler when it comes to my copyright and it would have been hypocritical to say the least to just use their song without their permission so I took a chance and reached out to them hoping that we could work out something so that I would be able to use their music. Long story short, we reached an agreement and I am able to use their music and you will find some of it here if you do some looking around. Again, one of the benefits of working with local people is that you can meet face to face and really work through things to get the results you would like. I was able to do that and I am grateful for the opportunity to highlight another area artist.

Thanks again guys and I wish you all the best!

-Pete
