Pat, you kindly invited me to your home about 15 years ago to discuss "The Nature of Guitar." You were so generous with your time, and I will never forget this. You are a phenomenal musician and person, and I am thinking of you during this challenging time for your health. From one Italian-American to another. -Guy Capuzzo

Pat - I wish you the best. You’ve been a great influence on my playing all these years. I met you in 1969 or 1970. I was on the road with a group and in Philadelphia. I called you from the airport and you invited me into your home and gave me a guitar lesson. It was one of my best experiences ever.
You’re the best

As an aspiring hobbyist jazz drummer (and a tinkering guitarist) I cannot tell you how much I cherish the well-spring of creativity that you have blessed planet earth with.

The first recording I ever heard was Exit. (Played to my by my drum teacher) Yes… it was one of THOSE recordings. It absolutely changed my world. And boy did I feel lucky. I mean this was back in the 80's. It was all word of mouth… and man… it was like uncovering a secret treasure. And I still do feel that way.

I currently reside in West Harlem. And you can laugh or call me crazy, but I sometimes wonder if my foot has stepped in the same spot that maybe yours or any other jazz musician who once lived in the area did.

Yes. There are many of us thinking about you during this trying time. But you are strong. And I look forward to hearing more from you upon your recovery. All the best.
