I haven’t met Pat yet, although I almost volunteered to adopt his Border Collie!

I believe that Pat is someone who truly wants to bring musicians together regardless of musical genres or stereotypes. He’s invited me to his home on more than one occasion.

So if we ever create a category of “Musical Ambassador” for BIAB, then Pat Marr would be the only logical choice.


Bob,
you give me wayyy too much credit! I'm more of a "Big ol' dummy" than "old soul"... but it's very kind of you to chime in with such positive comments! I truly appreciate that~! You are a person I hope to meet in person... I consider you to exemplify most of the musical qualities that seem to have bypassed me completely. There's lots to learn from you, and I hope to have that opportunity some day!

And Merlefest is coming up in April... if you ever want to attend, I'm within daily driving distance. You have a standing invitation to visit!
