After close to 40 years gone by Patice's exquisite voice and lyrics are still recognizable without any introduction.

You are as articulate and charming as I remember you. You made me laugh and I also felt your sadness when you talked of your mothers passing. You have gone through a lot my friend, I am so happy that you have come into your own and still growing strong. All my best for you as you go down your path and see your dreams fulfilled.

Nice work!

Friend Patrice Haan, Listening to the broadcast as I write and love that you list Quaker as a Spiritual influence...as I was a Friend for many years and still hold "to the Light in everyone." And you hail from Canada, as did my mother's ancestors.

What an extraordinary interview! This is so far beyond "nice song, what key is it in?" Though I am happy to answer that too. We talked of God and formative life experiences and whether a church upbringing is a help or hindrance later in life .. and cabbages and kings. My most profound thanks to my new friend Mark Judkins Helpsmeet.
