Dr. Ralph Peters, professor of sociology of Georgia Highlands College has recently released his debut solo album entitled �Useful Fiction.�

Peters has been working with music since the age of six. He originally started playing piano and then progressed to drums when he was 13. Eventually, he decided to switch to guitar to be able to add the melody and rhythms he needed.

Rather than just learning all different kinds of songs, Peters would just pick out melodies that he enjoyed and play them the way he thought they should sound. Peters said, �I don't consider myself a guitarist or drummer, but more-so a songwriter.�

Peters performs in a band called �Beatless,� which is a Beatles cover band. This band has been around since May.

As most artists would, Peters decided to take a collection of his work and make a CD. �Useful Fiction� is a combination of �pop� and �melodic� music with a jazzy feel.

He calls his music �delicate pop.�

The best place to find �Useful Fictions� will be online at www.cdbaby.com. Copies of the album are around $10.

Anyone with questions about the CD may email Peters at [email protected].
