02/4/10 BACK TO BUSINESS

After a nice 3 week vacation from accordion (doctor's orders) I'm getting ready to go back to life as a full time accordion slinger. All of my february appearances have been posted to the dates page, I hope to see you all once I'm out and about again.

01/12/10 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Friends,

I hope your 2010 is going well! Here in pattyland, we're preparing for a break from music. I'm going to be going under the knife for a minor operation and won't be able to play for 3 weeks. Right now, I'm shopping for a nice cane... Anyhow, there's still a few more shows coming up until I'm down and out.. On January 17th, The Dakota is hosting a big hot club event w/ The Clearwater Hot Club, Twin Cities Hot Club and Parisota Hot Club. These bands haven't appeared on one stage together for years, so it should be a blast. Then, I'll begin my convalescence. Please feel free to buy me a drink (or flowers) if you see me hobbling around town with my cane. I'll be back playing again by the middle of February, wish me luck!

Warm Regards,
Patrick
