He became a follower of the teachings of Indian guru Meher Baba, sprinkling references in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TheWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheWho</span></a>'s output and, with fellow-devotee chums, recording a couple of albums in his honor.</p><p>For Who Came First, regarded as his first solo release (get the cover pic pun?🥚), he took some tracks from those albums, tweaked some of his Lifehouse demos, and recorded some additional tracks. It’s all Pete except for a <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RonnieLane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RonnieLane</span></a> track with Pete on guitar, and the Billy Nichols track where Pete doesn’t appear at all.</p><p>I love this album despite its demo-y feel (or maybe "because of,” in a pre-Scoop world?) because it's Pete; ironically I’m featuring its one Pete-free track, but it's a good one.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjE47Dya48k" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=bjE47Dya48</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p>
