The band is all me, Famous Patrick, with occassional help from my wife on bass and keys, or an assortment of friends, all of whom are more talented than myself.Band/artist history
When I have time, I will try to put this in.Have you performed in front of an audience?Played live from the mid 60's until about 1995. Now I just play in my living room or for friends. I've played all over the northern Midwest, from the Mississippi to the Rockies, and down in Florida for about 7 years. For three years of that time, I was playing music, only, playing mostly Holiday Inn lounges in a two piece with my wife. My favorite place to play was Cody, Wyoming and Sebastian, Florida.

Support from friends and other musicians is important, as well as encouragement in the form of magazines and podcasts. I especially like listening to the Home Made Hit Show, The Project Studio Network, and the Musician's Cooler. I also listen to fiction writing podcasts, because I think a lot of the same techniques apply. My favorite at the moment is "I Should Be Writing," with Mighty Mur Lafferty.Contact

Congrats Patrick! This is a great group of songs. Each one makes you feel something different. I think my favorite is Booker T Bird. I am trying to figure out how to download them - I would love to have them on my IPOD. SumSumSummertime - I could picture Max's smiling face the whole time. You ROCK! Love ya. Kelly
