Peter Blegvad was born in New York City in 1951. His oblique wit has found expression in drawing, writing, pedagogy, A.E.*, and above all, in music. He has been a part of Slap Happy ("the Douanier Rousseau of rock 'n' roll"), The Golden Palominos, and other bands. He has also made several albums as a solo artist. Like Leviathan**, he currently lives in Shepherd's Bush, London.
