thanks for posting this inciteful piece on Tom Verlaine's Marque Moon. I used to have the original black vinyl from 1977. My dad gave it away with my other vinyl collection to the local YMCA. I trust avid listeners are enjoying them...including your first three releases. Horses, Black album, including Pissing in a River, and Easter. Luv always your comrade davpi3.14

Patti,

I donโ€™t have Instagram or know of a way to directly reach youโ€ฆexcept for here.

I am a nurse working in Philadelphia with a long commute into the city from the suburbs. Iโ€™ve been listening to a few of your audiobooks on my drives. As I got in my car early this morning before dawn, I found myself saying aloud โ€œI need you Patti!!!โ€œ as I started the engine. Thank you for being a friend and keeping me the most excellent company on these long dark drives.

Warmly,

Gina

Patti, thank you for your post; I was having computer issues of my own and only watched for the first time just now. It was fun to see the Maxfield Parrish print behind you. Yes, as someone else mentioned thatโ€™s definitely Wynken, Blinken, and Nod sailing off with silver and gold fishing nets in their wooden shoe. (It was Edward Learโ€™s Owl and Pussy Cat who โ€œwent to sea in a pea green boatโ€ and โ€œโ€ฆtook some honey and plenty of money,/Wrapped up in a five-pound note.โ€ I had to look it up!)

There is nothing like a visit with a sister! Happy for you.

Never apologise Patti. Your posts are always uplifting and calming for the mind with all the chaos that is going on seemingly all over the world. You are an amazing lady! x

I have just recently joined here, and watched a couple of your video blogs. I simply love this! So uplifting, and especially love the way you share your daily life in this natural way of yours. About Tom Verlaine: Television and his solo work was such an important Music when I was young. I remember driving with my sister in the pouring rain to Frankfurt's Cookies to see him play there. Fantastic gig, and I still have one of his pics, kept it in my treasure box :-). So, thank you for reminding. Enjoy your time in South Jersey!

Patti, write a health book, it would be so successful, I want to know HOW, you do all the things that you do! What you eat, how much water, have you given up coffee & booze & meat & butter - whatโ€™s going on? I looked up New Jersey - too front line, it does have seaโ€ฆ

both my parents were born on the 13th of December, same town, same year, so Iโ€™m not afraid of the number 13. The only film/ series I thought worth it @ the moment was Black Dove, with Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw, both good, Keira in particular, a beauty to boot.
