Funny, I posted this in 2009, then last year I tripped over three of her guitars at my luthier's house. Would've loved to take a peak in them, but I managed to resist. One was a coffin case.

I don't hear Patty on here much. She is an accomplished and underrated guitarist. Hearing more of her here would be a good thing.

I grew up next to a family that had a daughter who had bright red hair.  They took a vacationbusiness trip to China and she so frequently had her hair rubbed and head touched, that her hair would be greasy and hang in a matted mess by the end of the day.  Poor girl was such a good sport about it too, surprising considering that she wasn't even a teenager then. 

I wonder what ever happened to them?

Yes, IMHO. :)

I only recently heard of her. I got this album, and very good it is too.
Great voice and a simple well engineered sound also.

Maybe she uses her fingers? :)

Wow! What an excellent song. Will check out her other work.

I find it interesting that Patty put the kanji on her album and she is such a startling red head.  I spent a few years in Japan as a kid and I had red hair. I was always getting my head rubbed for good luck by locals who talked to my Mom or Dad. Or they might give me a little gift. I wonder if she experienced that or if that custom is still alive.  Brings back memories.

Cool. New artist to me .Is the rest of her stuff this good?

WTF, like a Tyrannosaurus rex?  Nasal passages are not "controlled" by voluntary muscle groups at all.

That sounds like a terrific night of music. I really enjoy them both. My late husband was madly in love with Dar.

Cool.She knows how to open her nasal passages for resonance without sounding nasal.They don't teach that in school.

Well, I generally like PL, especially live, but heard this and thought she's sampling her own past..."Kinda like a Tango"...

Excellent birds!

love that voice! love the entire song...

I have to thank Patty for turning me on to Dar Williams. First time I saw Patty Larkin, Dar was her opening act.

One of my favorite artists. Have every one of her CDs. She's one of the best in the "singer/songwriter" genre. A great guitar player as well.

I didn't think I needed to take a nap until I heard this song.

First time I've heard this. Exceptionally cool and beautiful.

Nice to hear Patti Larkin, I really like her stuff, though I don't think this song shows off her guitar playing or lyrics very well, both of which can be awesome.
