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 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.


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?

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.

Sweet! Can I rub your head?

Maybe she uses her fingers? :)

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


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