Dear Pat, I hope you were able to enjoy the Guitar Summit last Saturday evening. So many great artists playing your music with so much love! It really lifted my spirit, and I hope it did yours as well. With much love, Pat.

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.

Hi Pat,
I’ve only recently discovered your music, and it’s wonderful. I watched a video of you with Dave Frank “An Evening with Pat Marino” from 2016. I retired back in March and have recently started playing guitar again and taking lessons from a friend, he has that joy that you spoke of in the video with Dave Frank.
I read Miles Davis’s autobiography and got the impression he left Juilliard because it was too confining. It appears to me that those who tread their own path, no matter in music or elsewhere, not only are success but have the joy you speak of.
I had a trumpet teacher who played in a well known symphony orchestra and he could never understand that I had as much joy playing alone in my basement as anywhere.
As a young man I plucked around with the guitar but life, job and family became my priority. Now at 58 I’m playing again, though I may not achieve fame I will have joy. Thanks for the joy.
