SUBJECT:	Pat’s montages Back to Subjects
naut Dec 27 2022 at 2:19 PM	I’ve always thought Pat’s montages on the Group and other album artwork were interesting: revealing and mysterious. The mini-synopses on We Live Here of band members’ favorite music have been instructive, too. That cover also has, I think it’s the hometown, of molesoulsandal on it. Does anyone know if that’s two eggs sunnyside-up sitting on the ladder on the cover of Secret Story? That’s what it looks like to me, but I could be off-base. -- Aside: NPR has been playing some of Road to the Sun and "Sunlight" as bumper music. They’ve always had an affinity for Pat’s music.

He is confident that they will add their own touches to the music. I think they are some of his best recordings. I think some of the guitar picks in the Store are Pat’s doodles. I am pretty sure he devotes a lot of time to his family when not touring or recording. I think he usually sets time aside for them at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

More recently, I see less of his visual art adorning his musical output, but he’s a busy man. Everyone should check out Linda Manzer’s 30th Anniversary Metheny guitars. Only 30 were made, a few years ago. The fretboards are adorned with dozens of inlaid Pat doodles, instead of fret markers.

I also have a pretty big collection of the signed mini posters that I received for pre-ordering CD from this website. Add great businessman to his resume.
