Pat's Guest Book archive, June, 1999.

Dear Pat, I am an 18 year old jazz guitar student studying at the University of Adelaide Conservatorium (Aust.) I find your work very inspirational and enjoyable to listen to. I would personally be delighted if you do decide to do online lessons. I am particulary intrigued by your right hand picking technique. thanks again,- Roley

Pat, Having worked on your guitar while an apprentice with Sam Koontz, it is always a pleasure to hear you play. Unfortunately, living here in Arizona now I only have the records or tapes to remind me of what a unique guitarist you really are. R Levitch

As a jazz guitarist who has spent many years listening to and studying Pat's music, I would be interested in receiving commentary, insights, etc. from anyone else who plays and is interested in discussing Pat's work. Long live THE KING!

Pat, As a fellow Philly boy myself, as well as the rest of my musicial family, I have always crusaded your work to all who believe in guitar rising to the next level. I play soprano saxophone and drums, and now have my own CD coming out late summer featuring my horn playing, with my drumming as a support in the background. Anyway, you are the extension of the Dennis Sandoli philosophies that I believe inspired Trane and Miles, as well as a whole slew of people. Thanks for keepin' on. My cuz is Perry Lopez. Do you know him? He was teaching at the Curtis Institute up until a few years ago.

Pat - Thanks for posting the lead sheets, it's interesting to take a look at what you were thinking of at the sessions I was recently over at Abe Rivera's and I was able to check out one of your former guitars (neck was screwed up or something). Again, very interesting! Thanks again for posting the lead sheets! Musically - Dan
