Remember to tell us the Gogol story! I usually listen to your messages as soon as I see them in my e-mail, in the morning, and they always bring me joy and hope. This time, though, I forgot to watch it, but this way I can remind you to tell us that story. Hope you are well and enjoying every bit of your European tour. Thank you!
Love the poetry readings and your literary recommendations. We relax listening to you in the evenings and enjoy whatever you feel moved to share. Glad you will be with us another year.
Thanks Patti, that was great. Just catching up as visiting friends os. Have signed up of my friends to substack and they are absolutely delighted. I love the mix of things you post and the readings from your favourite writers..... adding to my ever expanding reading list. Thanks for sharing, I love it 💚
i was saving this message to listen to/watch for a few days now and i am so pleased i did...dearest patti, every single thing you post i honestly gobble up...your personal stories, the songs!, the poetry, mini history lessons, glimpses of cairo, and on and on...hearing your voice soothes me so and i can't wait for this year w you...with deep gratitude and peace---lisa from clinton hill bklyn (i'm just a couple blocks away from your and robert's digs on hall street)
it's been a great year, thank you, patti. what i admire about you is your work, work ethic, humility, and willingness to share your humanity. thank you for that. and i loved that we could hear cairo's purring in this video.
Thank you Patti -so happy to have another year with you on Substack...It has been wonderful listening to your readings, songs and general conversations. Also enjoying the mischievious Cairo! It is also nice seeing the comments from subscribers.
Happy Anniversary Patti! So lucky to have you here in my life, with you sharing so much of your intimacy and love for books and music.
I would also like to suggest that you talk more about your travels. I love that your books are also travel books! I have sketched in my mind a tour in Paris with only your special places of the city, like the statue of Jean Arc, Pere Lachaise cemetery etc. And I am travelling to Paris tomorrow, so you will be there with me as well. Take care!
April Fool was always my favorite track on Banga. It’s more special now that I know the backstory of the rusted bike and all. Happy Anniversary! I have some catching up to do as a new subscriber. I can’t believe we get to be here with you on such informal yet magical terms. Oh, and Cairo, too. Bonus!
I love most of all that you share your daily life with us... The fact that you talk about your feelings and thoughts...is really nice because you were always in my life and when listening and watching you, I have the illusion/sensation to be part of your life too...grazie
Hey Patti, I love your rambles, it's so sweet to feel so connected to you, an artist who's helped me stay connected.
I love hearing about what goes into your lyrics, where it comes from, I love the Patti Guide to Literature and your readings of other writers. I'm doing a crazy MA called the Poetics of Imagination, at Dartington Art-school, UK, and you're actually like an auxiliary tutor, hehe.
I also love your storytelling, remember to tell us about Gogol and Buls resting place!
