It was an absolute pleasure watching you perform this tonight along with the rest of your set. You were radiant, I saw an aura around you.

Indeed wonderful artists.

I just want to tell you Patti - the album I find myself constantly playing is Banga. It is such a really great album to listen to - April Fool being the favourite- Tom's guitar- and being my son's birthday. Also the boat journey - the Basilica of Saint Francis - things I have similarly done. It's beautiful - thank you.

Patti. You're at the ocean singing for Jerry after the desert in one day. You know the Moon pulls is to sway as the tides.. I've had a breakthrough today it's so lovely to be writing again! Thank you for your inspiring ways and I so admire your life choices. If I had one wish I'd use it to share time with you. So grateful your music has pulled me through life and terror, your voice resonates in me and I become a free soul. ♡ A free soul ♡

This was so beautiful, Patti, especially your singing “Grateful” with the waves. I can’t count how many times I watched and listened to it yesterday, through a very hard time, I kept hearing your singing: “It all will come out fine/ I’ve learned it line by line.” And in my mind’s eye I saw “one common wire, one silver thread,” not just as a nod to Jerry’s - but also as a loving nod to the halo-like hair on your head.

Thank you, as ever, for the rescue. Sending warmth to everyone.

Grateful,

Robin

Thank you so much for making the pacific ocean lapping your song video. It must be the best version of that piece you have ever recorded and your voice is so perfect.
