This is a 2014 conversation (over 6 minutes long) with Patrick about how he came to write the story The First Waltz which I posted a while ago. The story is about Richard Hull, who translated all 20 volumes of Carl Jung’s work, and the women in Hull’s life. PM: There’s this guy… you’ve heard […]
Another one of those long conversations with Patrick, sharing a bottle Scotch at my dining table and talking about life, responsibility, love, and minding our own business. This one is from 7 Oct 2014 and was transcribed by Christine. The audio file is too big to post here, but if you want to hear it, […]
Here’s a recording from 7 Oct 2014 while we’re enjoying dinner. When Patrick says Next La Scala he’s actually referring to a film called Tomorrow La Scala! The woman who made Four Last Songs is Francesca Joseph. Before that she made a film for BBC called Next La Scala, and it’s based on Sweeney Todd. […]
This is the transcript of a conversation from 2014 between Patrick, Christine, and myself while at a Japanese restaurant. The topic was how to move to Spain as an American before devolving into silliness. (141007-203740-patrick-christine-asks-about-moving-to-spain.mp3)
This very special recording from 7 Oct 2014 is a conversation between Patrick, JP, and Christine. It’s too large to upload here so I’ve posted it on YouTube instead. Christine: From your point of view as an 80-year-old man, and your son being 58 years old, and having lived the life that you’ve lived, what […]
Here’s a very short recording from 7 October 2014. Included because it’s an interesting observation. Patrick said “All those valuable things, worthless, sort of like landmarks on the way through life.”
This is a transcript of a really long recording dated 7 Oct 2014, while Patrick was visiting me in California. It lasted almost 20 minutes. You can listen to the conversation below. It begins when he’s talking about music in college. I’d be interested in Lee’s thoughts and comments on this one. We go on […]
Patrick tells JP and Christine about his father’s ashes and how Jack accidentally left them in Louise’s car for a year, and then how they were finally scattered near Tampa by Patrick’s five-year-old daughter Allison. Before the recording started Christine had been describing how she saw ashes being scattered for the first time. After Patrick’s […]
Here are a couple more recordings I found of Patrick playing my piano in October 2014. Here’s a short frolic on the keys.
Transcription of a conversation with Patrick on 2 October 2014 during the drive to the 2014 Prescott Rally, talking about how he managed to get into college and how he met my mom Donna. JP: You were talking about Florida State. Patrick: I had no idea I was going to go to college. Never occurred […]
Here’s another short conversation with Patrick in which he talks a little about the curse of Archduke Ludwig Salvator.
I haven’t touched my piano in months. The tuning is long overdue. I shirk those responsibilities. Now, while looking for something completely unrelated, I stumbled upon this video, a recording of Patrick playing Chopin from 2014. He hadn’t touched a piano in several years, perhaps since November 2011 at Jack and Vera’s, yet he was […]
I found these on Patrick’s US phone, which he purchased in 2014 while in the States.
