The Down Neck Gazette
This is only a fraction of the interviews. We have a large amount of material that has never been publicly available!
We are trying to get equipment together, and possibly recruit help, to begin sorting through our archive of DV tapes and preserve these powerful interviews and performances.
YouTube
About a thousand workshops and still going.

Unreleased Material
We have boxes of recordings, skip tapes from our time on both WBEY and WKHI, performances from The Eastern Shore Opry (Bob Paisley, The Reno Brothers, Claire Lynch, Charlie Size more and many more) and a lot of written material by Patrick and other teachers.
In The Works
While Patrick’s work schedule has been significantly impacted by his health and the failure of his BAHA hearing aids, work is well underway on a new book as well as a long-awaited revisiting of another project that we won’t talk about here.
In other words, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

If money is a problem, write ask.patrick@gmail.com The craft and your music matters to us.
If you wish to contribute something other than money, we can always use baking supplies, birdseed and suet. When Patrick is not working he is either baking or out meditating under the pecan tree. He has a sort of wildlife preserve going on back there with all manner of birds, snakes, alley cats and other creatures stopping by regularly.
