A message and a song

Hello from Tulsa, Oklahoma

Discussion about this video

I like your smiling so much 🥰

Thank you so much for your beautiful voice singing Bob Dylan from your hotel-room. I love the idea of a on-the-road-diary.

Sending love ❤️ thank you for this!

That's one of my favorite songs. It works very well in acapella with poetic lyrics. Even with your coy delivery you sang beautifully capturing the essence of the song.

You are doing a fantastic job with your Substack. I can't imagine how challenging it must be to commit to a weekly publication especially with touring and other obligations outside Substack. Your updates are a bonus. I especially enjoy the way you communicate with us in a natural way that feels like a good friend.

Thank you for the " One too many mornings ".. it put a smile on my face thought back to the time my brother took me to the beacon theater you opened up for Bob and then came out and did a killer version of "Dark Eyes " with him !! It was incredible !!!

I LOVED THIS!!!! Thank you so much. I hope to get to Tulsa one day and visit the archive.

Patti, I know how influential the Chelsea Hotel was for you. I'd like to tell you about a project to re-open the "old" Chelsea Hotel. donjon(at)magnificentmisfits.art

I so enjoy your messages. It helps me get through the day.

That microphone reminds me of the old days, when interviews and singing and such always had big ass microphones! I actually think it's very cool. And the sound quality captured perfectly your wonderful a Capella singing of One Too Many Mornings. I vote absolutely yes on the tour diary. Tell Bob Dylan he's a force of nature.

As are you. You continue to astound me with your great writing, singing, etc. Thanks for giving so much of yourself. As an artist, you are a great role model for us OTHER artists, even if we are working in different media. Take care of your bad self💖

Jackson's microphone may not be discreet, but the sound quality is remarkable.

Thank you Patti for this Bob Dylan song.

Can we expect one or more concerts in France during your visit to Europe? I pray for that and hope... 💙☕️❤️

Expand full comment

Can't wait for your tour report! We saw you in Austin last night. My 15-year-old would say during the pauses, "You got this, Patti." Of course you had it, but this was his first live show and he wanted to provide support.

Really enjoying these little casual hellos & sharings, thank u. Stay safe.

Expand full comment

Appreciate these hellos and a capella songs. It's as if we're friends just hanging out. Lots of love to you, Jack and the rest of the band, if there's any with you. Looking forward to "going" on tour with you! Please be safe

Beautiful. Thank you Patti 🙏

I look so forward to theses and am thankful. You do Bob Dylan justice.

Expand full comment

Patti - you sang that beautifully, thank you. The Eta Aquariids Meteor shower lit up the New Zealand sky at 5.30am this morning. The planets Saturn, Mars, Venus and Jupiter all aligned and were visible in the same area of the sky at the same time - a rare occurrence in itself. Perhaps the stars were aligning in Tulsa, too. Some places in the world are a Bob Dylan free zone - like the mountains in Tibet where snow leopards roam, beyond the claws of human activity. This is a blessing. Aroha.

Love this! And how you keep us on your mind. Have you thought of singing that one to us? 🎵 “You we’re always on my mind…”🎵Love you so much ❤️

Love when you sing Bob to us. Love when you just say hi. My suggestion to you is get your own mic to use on your computer. The sound is outstanding imo. Glad I waited to listen while sitting on my balcony watching the Mississippi River rolling by. Hope you and all that see this are enjoying the day. Thank you Patti. You really brighten the day.

Here is this thing, this page, and all the code behind it, and again it won't let me tell you with a little blip that I like it. But I do. So I guess maybe it's better I just tell you. Honestly, I can't imagine something you might show us that I don't like. But this I do, so thanks.

It's a nice microphone. It suits.

Expand full comment

Thank-you Patti. I just love hearing from you wherever you are. It will be exciting to hear from you when you are in Europe. Peace be with you.

Thank you Patti ❤️

I feel so blessed to be able to hear from you on Substack. Thank you for being you.

You're such a generous human and you never fail to make me smile..X

Expand full comment

Bob Dylan saved my life when I was a young teenager. I spent many late nights with his songs as my solace for a world in chaos and parents fighting. Thank you for gifting us with your real presence and beauty. You continue to be a great inspiration for me and for the work I give myself to. Maybe, while you're in Tulsa, you can go see the Leon Russell Church Studio, recently extraordinarily rebuilt by Teresa Knox. Thank you for being exactly you. All the writers and artists you inspire us to get to know, all the photos your sensitivity captures, what you share that you value -- how extraordinary that your children play with you. Honestly, I'm embarrassed because I could just go on and on about how much I appreciate what you gift us.

Dear Patti

It’s still great to see you and listen to you, there, sitting in your hotel room and singing us a beautiful Bob Dylan song. You are amazing. I love to see you laugh at yourself. Enjoy your stay in Oklahoma! Love XXX

Expand full comment

Patti, your smile is infectious. Thank you so much. How your voice is ageless and still soothing for me; when I was an art student on the subways of New York, and my young restless spirit craved comfort, you gave it to me. Now that I am an old, aching mommy of a teenage boy whose spirit is taking off in all the colors, you soothe me again. Thank you. <3 Bless you.

Expand full comment

How beautiful, to hear you sing this beloved song in such an intimate setting, as if we were sitting there with you! Thank you so very much for what you're giving us - real human communication and your devotion for all forms of art nurturing us as well.

Expand full comment

How can you possibly ask for patience from us when you give so generously of yourself, both through the quality of your work and the dedication with which you fulfill your obligations? And for the best version I’ve ever heard of “One Too Many Mornings”?

Also, I love the big microphone. It’s the coolest thing.

And yes to your question about missives from your tour. I can’t imagine anyone not welcoming that.

I hope and trust that it went well tonight. Thank you again, Patti. Enjoy the tour and take good care of yourself.

As ever,

Robin

What a wonderful rendition of a great song. You had me smiling with delight all the way through. And I loved the inflection you put on the word ‘morning’. The tour diary sounds like a terrific idea. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Can’t wait until I can check a set list tomorrow and see what the other two Dylan songs will be. Wicked Messenger? I’m so thrilled for everyone who gets to experience this show with you.

Just saw that the third song was Boots of Spanish Leather. What an inspired choice. Wish I could have been there.
