Pat,
I just heard that you met Jerry Garcia.
After playing like Garcia for 5 year,I discovered you.
After all you play the same notes—mixolydian and dorian.
In 1976 at the Bottom line you killed it with the Mixoldian on Songbird. I felt what you were doing Jerry Garcia was only trying to do. But Jerry said you are one of his favorites! Ornette Coleman heard Jerry Garcia band, and put Garcia on his record Virgin Beauty.
Pat you are also the nicest Muscian I have ever met.
All the Best,
Lloyd

Hi Pat, I've been a big fan of your music for 20 years. I got the chance to chat with you a bit when I bumped into you and Eldar walking across the street to your gig at Yoshi's. I had my dog Beatleberry with me and she loved all the attention you gave her. I was a little jealous that you were paying so much attention to her! She usually shied away from all men (as she was abused when she was a pup) but she absolutely loved you! She really responded to you patting her head and telling her in your gentle voice what a sweet pup she was. Best dog I ever had. Most people know you as a guitar god, but she didn't know any of that ... just responded to your humanness and kind soul. Thank you for that - such a great memory. Wishing you a quick recovery, Pat!

Dear Pat, I hope you are getting better during the last months - I miss you and hope our paths cross again. Years ago I bought a "pat martino songbook" via your Web side .... the possibility to buy a "pat martino songbook Part 2" would be nice, and perhaps signed books, CDs or photos, some merchandise ....
Wish you all the best from heart,
Always with love, felix

Hello, Pat:
I am so fortunate to have been able to see you perform at the Jazz Showcase twice, and I was pleased to have the opportunity to chat with with after the show. Thanks for signing my copy of your autobiography and my Footprints CD. Your story is an inspiring one and I wish you the best despite your health issues. Know that you have a fan who truly enjoys your music and the deep catalogue that you have recorded for us. Blessing to you.
