Happy 90th Birthday

Today would have been Patrick’s 90th birthday. This morning I revisited some recordings, including those I haven’t shared yet (because the transcriptions are incomplete), and remembered again the affect of his voice, the humor in his stories, the precision of his language.

Perhaps later today I’ll get together a couple of longer pieces for you to enjoy, to reminisce over, to laugh or cry about. In the meantime, here’s a 2011 conversation (four and a half minutes long) about Flamenco guitarist Ian Davies, and how Patrick was a terrible influence on me, and Spanish, and candlelight concerts, and more.
