So I have a Uniform hat that Peter gave me.

2 weeks ago my parents come over and my dad had some of my stuff I left in their house 20 years ago, among these items was this dark green uniform hat with a brown bill. It suddenly all came back to me that this was a hat that Peter Steele gave to me over 20 years ago, it was his formal NYC Parks department hat with NYC buttons on either side. A coincidence that I happened to be looking around online for a uniform hat to wear on stage for my APHND outfit and all of a sudden this hat shows up which my dad had no idea what a monumental object he brought me, as if Peter had given it to me all over again and I knew this was a sign and this is the hat I should wear.
S.A.

The album and the family.. We love you Sal and thank you much for sharing and being a down to earth kinda guy. Its nice when you get a chance to be part of a "family" like that. <3 u

Sal & his agent are negotiating with several labels for world wide distro rights. FYI- once the digipacs are gone they are gone until the record comes out on its home label.

Comment by Constantin on November 22, 2010 at 2:20am: The hat looks actually cool. I can remember Pete wearing a hat like that with additional Hammer Gear sign attached to it. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHMwF9qxFPM&feature=related

Pff, 20 years ago. Absolution.........we are old. But at least we still have enough power to kick & scream when we need to.

Comment by Laurie Jaros on November 21, 2010 at 8:04pm: awsome story, sounds like Peter was trying to tell you something, good luck,is the album out yet?

Comment by Raven Photography on November 21, 2010 at 5:06pm: Absolutely!

Comment by MARY WOLFE (BloodSteele) on November 21, 2010 at 2:28pm: wow. that is so cool, sal. just be careful wearing it on stage as people now know who and where it came from. i bet this lil momentum gave you all kinds of warm fuzzies and a lil sadness at the same time. as i was reading this i got covered in goosebumps & even a lil teary eyed. lil findings like this after so many years just goes to show that Pete is your true brutha. i cant imagine just how much you miss him. thanks for sharing this story. simply heart warming. much love to you and yours my friend. peace.
