In 1968, Pete & PK met at Adelphi University.  Drawn together by their love of music and guitars, they became "Pete & PK" and, throughout their four years at Adelphi, made plenty of pocket change doing gigs here and there around the Island.

In 1971, Pete's fraternity brother, Craig Newstadt, became their manager, and created the following promotional brochure.
 
 

Pete & P.K.

    Peter Friedman, originally from Connecticut, has been playing guitar and singing for about 10 years.  Having been part of various rock groups and folk ensembles, his main focus has turned toward folk.  Before entering Adelphi University in 1968, Pete had also done the music for several high school productions and films.
    Paula Kiley, originally from Pennsylvania, has been singing and playing guitar and piano for about 15 years.  She began her entertaining in high school with a folk-singing trio.  She also did background music for several films produced by the State Education Department of Pennsylvania.
    They met at Adelphi University in 1968 and became "Pete & P.K."  Since then they have performed for high school, college and night club audiences, as well as having worked for several months accompanying an Adelphi Unversity dance company on tour.
