"Pat jamming with some street musicians in St. Petersburg, Russia this past August. That's me with the electric guitar. These guys were drinking beers and playing for tips in front of the Winter Palace (the blue building in the far right background), home of the old Russian czars and the place where the Bolshevik Revolution began. We jammed some blues and finished up with
the Beetles 'Back in the USSR'. Rock Lives in Russia!!!"

Ok a little side trip during my fall 2002 tour to Wahington and Oregon and caught the once-mighty (and still amazing) mountain on a perfect October day. Nature is damn impressive."
