I live in Seattle now, and i feel stranger than ever.  When i chose the 'alien' LibSyn URL... how prophetic.  My life has changed a lot.  It could not have changed more.  My Rhodes is in safe-keeping with my brother Mark (whom i hope will use it on stage at one of their big gigs), my piano is at a friend's house (and may not even be mine anymore).   I still have my harp.  My apartment was broken into and my Mac and some recording equipment were stolen, so i haven't been able to produce anything new for awhile.  I'm sorry.  I will when i can get myself back on my feet.  I may change this feed into a Live Interview 'banter-cast'.  I've become a Queer Activist here in Seattle and would like to cover LGBT and feminist issues in interview (with perhaps a local emphasis).  We'll see.  I'd do it in Stereo, of course.  Nothing but the best for My dog.  First, i need another Mac (which will have to wait until rent and other things get stabilised).  Meanwhile, i hope you're still enjoying what i've got up (which is what's left of my stuff; ha).  Life happens.  Life is.  Feel free to e-mail with comments, praise, scathing insults... whatever.  joan@joanpatrie.com

Okay... let's try this yet again. Beware of flakey wireless whilst uploading (even with FTP). I'm re-posting this again with a new file; the previous one was damaged due to a flaky network connection at a certain well known coffee retail outlet which shall remain nameless. {I've just uploaded the new file at Dead River Coffee in downtown Marquette right now and their network is running at its usual flawless. :} Enjoy!

Performed Live at the Holiday Inn, Marquette, Michigan USA - the week after 'Nine-Eleven'... and i was in a strange mood all night.  All week.  This is just me playing my Rhodes Live through delay effects in a bar with a bunch of inebriated people with their collective head in the sand.  The pool game went on unabated (as you can hear). ___ It's seven years later as i edit these notes (on 2008 Sept 9).  I live in Seattle now, and i feel stranger than ever.  joanpatrie.com
