"The characters in these songs (real and imagined) are caught up in the warp of change-the gap in the plan, the twist of fate, the lapse in judgment that alters the course.

Life does not happen in a steady stream. There are minutes or days or years when goals become murky or disenchanting.

We are forced to rethink things, to muster our energy and refocus our sights-to regroove,
to start again-to regroove the dream."

Sounds - Words & Things

Good Thing

Her vocal is sheer perfection on this song.

Wolf at the Door

This was the first song I heard that did it for me!

Don't

"The confusion of thinking for yourself...oh, yeah."

Who Holds Your Hand

"When you're alone?" -- some wicked rhythm guitar

on this one.

I'm White

This song is suburbia at its best...worst part is, I can relate.

Dear Diary

Hang with it..there's some awesome slide on this.

You Can't Always Get What You Want

I'll always have Toledo, July 25, 2001. Thank you

Patty, it was honor to meet you.

Ruby Tuesday

Finally, this song was given the justice it deserves.

It makes me verklempt.

I stumbled upon a copy of "Perishable Fruit" a few summers ago. And within a matter of weeks, I bought ALL of Patty's back catalog.

As a writer, she's tough to beat. From a wicked sense of humor to stories of the familiar and not so familiar...she will take you on a captivating musical journey through each recording.

I think she's a guitarist's, guitarist as well. Technically, she's freakin' brilliant.
She create sounds your ears have probably never ever heard before.

I've put up a few Real Audio files in hopes that you may like what you hear and pick up a CD, or two, or three.
