Thanks for the good conversation and great music. You're a true entertainer and really know how to put on a good show. ~ :) Brandon Virgallito , Lewisburg, WV ~ 2/26/2010 8:51:08 PM

Ah, bloody hell! We'll be in the FQ the last week in March, but will miss any of your shows. Hope all is well with you, and that we can get you back for another pig roast! Cheers! ~ :) Karen Fouts , Wheaton, IL ~ 2/21/2010 8:12:50 PM

Hi, Beth. I was just wondering if that was Michael on the pipes on your Hybrid Vigor album. He is a good freind of mine and gave me a good foundation on the bagpipes. ~ :) pete guillory , lafayette and new orleans ~ 1/29/2010 10:22:22 PM

Hey Beth! Looks like you are busy! That's fantastic. We were certainly happy to have you at our Festival in Sept. Take care, Chuck ~ :) Chuck Vetter , McPherson KS ~ 12/10/2009 10:58:53 PM

Hola Beth - Holly Foy of Ancient Echoes here. We met during your wonderful show at the Acoustic Brew last month. Your wonderful bouzouki playing is still haunting me and I can't get it out of my mind! I have been looking to by one (or an octave mando) so let me know if you stumble upon any in your travels.....a searching mandocafe already. Thanks for the inspiration! Holly ~ :) Holly Foy , State College, PA ~ 11/7/2009 3:15:38 PM

Howdy, Hope you get back to the Dallas area soon. Just listening to the Take Some Fire Cd again and it still so rocks. Also saw your piece on Virtual tea House. Great photo and the sentiment is very in need of being heard. Thanks for the music and a shout out to the Dachsunds who raised you... {;> } ~ :) MICHEAL PRICE , FORT WORTH ~ 11/6/2009 10:43:36 AM

Hiya Elfin Beth -- JR & I back in MN hoping you had safe homeward journey fm McPherson, too. HEDZUP: Expect contact soon from Liz Michaelson, dba Uncommon Gatherings. In addition to being all around wonderful person and longtime fair-whether friend, Liz is prime-mover diva re advising MN Fair board on procuring (plz, no smarty retorts) talent for the MN Scottish Fair & Games. As promised, I contacted Liz on your behalf (& will also be checking w/ Irish Fest organizers, et al, as discussed, or disgust, or whatever). Told Liz you'd be lots less expensive now than after you win the Grammy. Also, as threatened, I did pray for you at Mass yesterday morning. Sometime of a Sunday, if you'll attend Mass w/ ussins (JR, my Cathie & me), consecrated flour wafer & wine at Lord's Table, then I'll break down and treat you and ussins to a spaghetti liturgy at nearest Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill, unconsecrated flour pasta & wine. Peace be with you -- or should that be ~ :) Stuart Hoarn , Earth (okay: born Milwaukee, raised Tucon & Martha ~ 9/28/2009 3:49:31 PM

Hi Beth! The whole family loves your music and we love to sing along ... frequently we find ourselves driving done the road doing our best to sing along to Musique a Bouche/Raisin, Raisin - what are the lyrics and what do they mean in english? ~ :) Chris , NM ~ 9/27/2009 6:14:23 PM

hey beth. when are yiu going to start twittering? ~ :) elden , new orl,eans ~ 8/22/2009 11:09:52 PM

Is there any chance of you playing this weekend in NOLA? The concert dates section says you're only playing on Tuesdays...and my plane leaves on Tuesday afternoon! Great tragedy! A few friends of mine took me to see and meet you when I was in college (UNT Green Brigade for the Sun Belt Conference NO Bowl, hailing from Denton, TX at the time). This is the first time I've gotten to return to NOLA since Dec. 2004, I was so hoping to watch you perform again - you are a total joy to listen to! I have the first two CD's, which are WONDERFUL, but no substitute for a concert! ~ :) Amber , San Antonio ~ 7/23/2009 12:52:25 AM

Miss you! Come back to Texas! ~ :) Hopie , Texas ~ 7/22/2009 8:18:48 AM

Hi Beth, one of our baristas knows you from your performances in Jackson, MS. She recommended that we get you to perform at our coffee house in Brunswick, MD. We have Friday, Aug 21, available, the day after your Sykesville, MD performance. Would you please let us know if you would be available. Please email me or give me a call at 301 869 6610 (direct). Thank you, Hanna www.BeansintheBelfry.com ~ :) Hanna Politis , Beans in the Belfry Meeting Place and Cafe in Brun ~ 7/12/2009 8:02:39 PM

Hello! Ms. Patterson, I am planning on getting an Irish bouzouki (I'm learning how to play from your music and videos for the most part!), and I was wondering what kind your 8-string is (such a nice sound) and how much I would have to spend to get a good-quality bouzouki? I love the new CD! ~ :) AMF , MA ~ 7/11/2009 8:19:17 AM

Hey Beth, any chance you'll be back to OH this summer? Absolutely enjoyed ~ :) Mary Lea Kirby , Brunswick OH ~ 7/2/2009 11:49:58 AM

Beth, wow, we absolutely loved seeing you and Ron and the whole crazy Night of 1000 Pegs crowd! You're such an amazing talent, it always feels like a privilege to talk to you about your music. See ya up here DC way later this summer... ~ :) Patrick and Sharon , Fairfax VA ~ 6/14/2009 11:38:09 PM

It's called "Koinophilia." Thanks for checking it out! ~ :) Beth Patterson , New Orleans, LA ~ 6/10/2009 3:12:10 PM

Hi Beth, Enjoyed your performance at Neutral Ground especially your tongue in cheek closing tune blessing the mediocre. I looked on your albums and didn't recognize the title of the tune. What's the name of that song? Mary Ellen ~ :) Mary Ellen , Vermont ~ 6/7/2009 7:18:20 PM

Beth, your music rocks. Your show at Enoch's the other night was amazing. You are truly talented. Oh and my friend Beau thought you were awesome too. Thank you for all the fun lyrics. ~ :) Stephen , Ruston, LA ~ 5/30/2009 11:29:54 PM

Hi again - just wanted to say, if anyone's got time I think a lyrics page would be a nice addition to this lovely website. Also, to Kat Garcia, if you're still wondering, the line is, ~ :) AMF , MA ~ 5/29/2009 3:41:46 PM

Hi! I love your music and I was wondering if you might be interested in doing a family show at the Bull Run restaurant in Groton, MA - it's a nice place. Thanks! ~ :) AMF , MA ~ 5/27/2009 8:41:30 PM

Beth, I love the new CD. ~ :) John , Las Vegas ~ 5/25/2009 8:14:56 PM

Great show on Tuesday. I enjoyed it. Also thanks for listening to me. ~ :) Greg , Houston, TX ~ 5/8/2009 10:53:54 PM

Beth, Ron - hearing you guys play on Tues. was the highlight of my trip to N.O. Any chance you'll be making it to California in the near future? Thanks for making my 1st time so sweet. ~ :) Margo , Palo Alto, CA ~ 4/23/2009 10:47:41 PM

Hi Beth! My husband and I really enjoyed your sets at the Dublin, OH Irish Fest last year and think you and Ron et all would be perfect for the floating concerts and more called The Rock Boat X! PLEASE check out www.sixthman.net or www.therockboat.com and get on the boat! (Gaelic Storm and Marc Broussard will be there!) Hope to see you at Dublin again this year! ~ :) Mary Lea Kirby , Brunswick, OH ~ 2/17/2009 3:33:01 PM

Hey Beth - how are you - its been too long. You dont have an email contact on the site so I'm using this forum. I know a guy passing through Louisianna to play in Texas and he needed some advice. His trio play Irish trad (inc 2 row accordian). Drop me a line and we can catch up. Talk soon. Paul ~ :) Paul Flynn , The Sod ~ 2/16/2009 11:43:37 AM

You are awesome Beth! Your music really inspires me. ~ :) Christopher , Monroe, LA ~ 10/27/2008 1:11:10 PM

Beth, hope you and Ron have fared well through this stormy season.

Hi Beth: Finally got ahold of 'Caught in the Act,' and really missing seeing you perform. My then boyfriend, now husband, and I had many fine dates attending your shows (and I always put you on the spot by requesting 'Devil and the Widow'). 'Microcosm' has been running through my head - wish I had the lyrics so I could figure out that first line. Any fans reading this want to clarify that ('When the _____ ____ ___ ___, the response never hesitates....'), please? Eagerly awaiting your next UK tour (gives her best kitten eyes). Take care and keep making great music! Love and Light, Kat ~ :) Kat Garcia , formerly NOLA, now Leeds, England ~ 9/8/2008 4:03:44 PM

Hope all is good...screw Gustav. Looking forward to seeing you (and Ron) again. Peace ~ :) Eric and Beth Carlson , Wheaton, IL ~ 9/2/2008 3:10:39 PM

Could this be the same Beth that I used to hang with at Vince's Backstage in Lafayette? ~ :) Crystal , Scott, LA ~ 8/6/2008 3:03:01 PM

Hi Beth! Lu is still tring to get his teaching job back in N.O. Its been about a year too long here, and one of the first things I want to do when we return to civilized parts is to come and see you play! love, Mishlen ~ :) Mishlen Linden , refugee from N.O., currently Bloomington In. ~ 7/5/2008 2:00:17 PM

Hi Beth! It's been a long time, but my then-boyfriend (now hubby) Paul and I have seen you several times, in NOLA at O'Flaherty's and in Birmingham at the Moonlight Music Cafe. Since Katrina, we've been forced to get our fix just listening to your CDs, of which we have all three... We're finally getting back to NOLA the last week of July, and you don't have your schedule out that far yet for Yo Mama's. I see you've been playing there most every Tuesday and Wednesday night throughout May and June, so here's hoping...will you by chance be there on Tuesday July 29th??? We're bringing down a friend who has never seen you live, but has heard all my CDs, and we'd love to catch your show. I know you have the Dublin Irish Festival later that week, but I'm hoping you'll do your usual NOLA gig that night! -Gina and Paul ~ :) Gina , Helena, AL ~ 5/28/2008 11:24:08 PM

Beth: Please check out the Riverhawk Music Festival. Would be an awesome venue for you. Anyplace in Florida would be awesome actually so you fans down here could catch one of your shows! ~ :) Alice , Ft. Myers, Florida ~ 2/17/2008 7:53:00 AM

A shout out to all my new friends at LBM. You guys are great! I have seen Beth several times and am looking forward to seeing more of her here in Lafayette! Good luck with the new project. ~ :) Scotty , Lafayette,LA ~ 2/13/2008 9:58:08 PM

We had so much fun listening to you play in New Orleans, a few years ago, while visiting. Love listening to your cd. I would love to see a visit to New England on your tour list. Cheers! ~ :) Jennifer , Southington, CT ~ 2/8/2008 8:39:57 AM

Saw your show on Friday, February 1, 2008 and was blown away by your sheer musical genius. Both CDs that I purchased are now some of my personal favorites. Thanks for you and Ron for chatting with us about music & the bouzouki. Good luck. Here is a link to the photos that I took that night. http://www.owston.com/bethpatterson/index.htm Hope to see you back again in West Virginia. Jim ~ :) Jim Owston , Beckley, WV ~ 2/5/2008 1:10:12 PM

What's happening with the Bouzouki Workshop in Maryland? I'd love to making plans to go about this time, but I can't find any other information. ~ :) Robert Ey , New Jersey ~ 1/22/2008 3:07:59 PM

Simply amazed at your youtube videos. I play zouki and mandolin downn here and was impressed by your energy , technique and beauty...keep that up ! Hope to play with you someday... ~ :) Rik Dias , Sao Paulo , Brazil ~ 1/19/2008 8:57:11 PM

Madame Producer, Kudos on Renaiasance Cadienne CD. Got it just in time for the holidays, and loved it. (What I tried to say in the earlier post). ~ :) Paul , Appleton ~ 1/7/2008 9:26:42 AM

Stumbled onto your YouTube clips and was much taken with your music. The Rhythm Room in Phoenix would be a great venue for you; I'd love to catch you there some time. ~ :) Paul Green , Tempe, Arizona ~ 12/28/2007 2:13:06 AM

Beth, or should I say, ~ :) Paul , Appleton WI ~ 12/22/2007 12:55:59 PM

Seeing you play is always the high point of my stay in New Orleans. I knew I should have checked the listings before this trip, to see if we could catch you anywhere. No worries, we'll be back again, and hope to catch another spectacular performance. ~ :) Sean Whittaker , Houston (via London) ~ 12/17/2007 7:47:32 PM

You should play at The Mucky Duck sometimes here in Houston. I don't remember seeing you on the playlist but your name is familiar but then it might be from live ireland.com. Excellent music! ~ :) Chris S , Houston, TX ~ 12/12/2007 2:00:59 PM

Christ, I wish you'd come play Lake Charles some time. Our music scene just isn't working right now. ~ :) J , Lake Charles ~ 12/3/2007 10:03:17 AM

I have only just now discovered your existence because of the most tradgically beautiful song I've ever heard (The Lass of Aughrim). Your voice (and arrangement) is exquisite. With Respect Fiona ~ :) Fiona , Australia ~ 11/20/2007 11:43:04 PM

Hey, Beth-- We wanted to tell you about our favorite pub in Binghamton, NY that has been closed due to a fire for several years. It's just re-opened, and it's beautiful inside! If you are ever in the area, you would fit right in there. They are called G.Bailey's Irish Pub (after George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life), and the owners are Billy and Rhonda Colban. Can't find the number off the top of my head, but I'll drop it to you when I do. They are having their grand opening tonight and my husband Doug is playing Irish music for it. You can tune your internet radio to STAR 105.7, Endicott, NY to listen in. We'd love to have you if you're in the area! ~ :) Jimae , Endicott, NY (just above PA border) ~ 11/16/2007 2:05:29 PM

We did New Orleans for our Halloween vacation again this year & dropped by Sean Kelly's to see you play but you were gone! How disappointing! Hope all is well & hopefully if we manage to get back down next year we can figure out where you'll be playing. Cheers! Kelly & Freddy (little red riding hood & grandma wolf) ~ :) Kelly Pollock-Clemett , Toronto, Canada ~ 11/15/2007 10:50:33 PM

Beth, Sorry to hear about SK's. My son and heard you a few times there and up in Monroe, LA - great shows. I was hoping to hear you play a few more times. Any chance you would do something in the River Parishes? ~ :) Eric Botnick , Luling, LA ~ 10/30/2007 12:23:50 AM

Beth, sorry to hear you cancelled the show's at Sean Kelly's...David and I were gonna come and see you play tonight! Oh well...again the good suffer for the BAD!!! That really sucks..see you maybe in Slidell? Fondly, Barbara & David ~ :) Barbara L. Pritchett , Metairie, Louisiana ~ 10/23/2007 2:29:06 PM

We're having a women's music, art and spoken word festival at various venues in N.O. Wed. Nov 14 to Sund Nov. 18. This is going to be an annual event and I want you in at the start. Please e-mail me your phone # so we can talk. Love, Roselyn ~ :) Roselyn Lionhart , NOLA ~ 10/23/2007 11:50:46 AM

Hey Beth; Just wanted to tell you how outstanding your show was (AGAIN) at Sean Kelly's on Oct. 16th. I hadn't seen you play live since O'Flaherty's(thank God for CD's) and you sound even better, if that's possible. I'm sorry you had trouble with the drunken knucklehead that night. Wish we could have been there earlier to escort him out. Hope to catch your Virginia show in a couple months! The Ex-cops from Virginia!! ~ :) Scott Berube , Virginia ~ 10/23/2007 9:40:38 AM

Beth, I'm here in NOLA now and stopped by SKs yesterday and heard about your cancellation and the reason why. I'm really sorry this happened to you and will miss seeing you but support your choice 100%. I'll look forward to seeing you when you come to Old Broque in Feb. Take care, until I see you again, Patrick Wray ~ :) Patrick , Fairfax, VA ~ 10/22/2007 11:31:23 AM

Hey Beth. I just saw your show again at Sean Kelly's pub in New Orleans. You were great as usual. What is the name of the group and title of the song of the heavy metal song you converted into a ballad? You played it twice that night and I think it is one of your best songs. ~ :) John Awbrey , Gadsden, Alabama ~ 10/21/2007 12:36:22 PM

Would you elaborate as to why it is no longer safe for you at Sean Kelly's and others should be wary also. ~ :) Jack Curry, Jr. , New Orleans ~ 10/21/2007 12:24:53 PM

Beth, AGAIN, it was wonderful to see and listen to you at this years Celtic Fest. in Lake Charles..You are truly one of the MOST inspiration artists! As I told you Saturday, you warm my soul! I can't thank you enough!!!! My respect and adoration is limitless..... ~ :) Barbara L. Pritchett , Metairie, Louisiana ~ 10/15/2007 10:11:06 AM

Beth, Just discovered you last night on itunes with some dumb luck. I am blown away to say the least. You are litterally an overnight favorite for me. Your voice is enchanting and you can play the crap out of that instrument. I watched a couple of tunes on youtube. I can't believe that it has taken three albums for me to find you. Now I am concerned about having missed you in Georgia. Have you ever been? Will you ever come? I don't see any hopeful tour dates. Atlanta of course would be a better venue for you, but because I am so directionally challanged, I would appreciate you doing a jam on Savannah's River Street. That would be too cool. There is always a big St. Patty celebration there in March...put that on your tour calendar! Plenty'O bars and nightlife there with a pleasent atmosphere. Much Success, Take Care! ~ :) Black Douglas , Savannah Georgia ~ 9/16/2007 9:29:07 PM

Great, show. It was a pleasure,..see you again. ~ :) Sherman Lee Dillon , Jackson,MS (Fenian's) ~ 9/2/2007 10:20:32 PM

Wow Beth, never noticed that resemblance between you and Barbie. I think they owe you royalties. Anyway, I'm sure you heard about the A2 site closing. Would love to have a chat, and catch up on old times, so if you have a chance send me a line. ~ :) Lenny , Ann Arbor ~ 6/28/2007 11:07:03 AM

Hi Beth, discovered your music late last night quite by accident. I'm very impressed! You should bring your talent to England someday, we have plenty of folk festivals here that would appreciate it. -x- ~ :) Darren , Lincoln, England ~ 6/19/2007 6:05:15 AM

Hey Beth! It was great seeing you in New Orleans the other night. Glad I decided to check the pub and got to speak to you briefly. I dropped a note to Finnegan's asking them to please bring you back to Alexandria. Let's hope they get in touch soon and I get to see you there. Take care. By the way, how many people have commented about how fast your fingers are? ~ :) Wesley Elmer , Mansura, La. ~ 6/9/2007 2:11:42 AM

reminded you at FQF we had seen you at Fitzgerald's sidebar and with Poor Clares at Milwaukee Irishfest - now I see you are doing Elgin for St. Paddy's Day next - hope you will find something solo closer to central city - Fitzgerald's?, Schuba's?, house concert? See you then. ~ :) Joseph S. Holtzman , Chicago, IL ~ 5/18/2007 9:30:26 AM

Hi Beth, I just want to thank you for your wonderful music. Got your CDs from CD-Baby. As there is little chance to see you live in Germany (or is there a chance in the near future?) I'd like to ask you if there are plans to make a live DVD? Otherwise could you please offer some more videos on your site? I wish you all the best Frank ~ :) Frank , Germany ~ 5/8/2007 4:22:21 PM

I really enjoyed your show in Lafayette. You have a very unique style, evidenced\ not only by the instrument you play (very high wow factor), but also by the chord arrangements. You blew me away.... I am also a musician, bari/tenor/alto sax + keys, and have performed with: Luther Kent, Rudy Richard, James Johnson, John Lisi, and many other legendary LA musicians..... I'd like to put you in touch with a BR music producer to get you booked into the BR scene. Please let me know if you are interested... Keep your music flowin... jrdaniel addis, la addissax@yahoo.com ~ :) j.r.daniel , addis, la ~ 4/29/2007 8:48:27 PM

Hi Beth! We were in NOLA this week working at NOCCA and tried to catch you, bust sadly missed you. If only our work were taking us to Dublin, OH this month! We hope to be back and hope to see you soon. Love, cousin Andy and cousin-in-law Carrie ~ :) Andy and Carrie Waggoner , New York City ~ 4/19/2007 10:37:59 PM

Beth, is there any chance you would want to live in a rural intentional community if you had to garden, build and cook a few days a week and could spend the rest of your time devoted to your music and anything else? I heard you today at the french quarter festival and liked it. Would love to have other musicians join us. ~ :) Iuval , All over ~ 4/15/2007 10:45:55 PM

Went to Sean Kelly's last night to see Beth. Wasn't there, though its great she's out on tour. Shoulda checked the board. ~ :) AJ , NOLA ~ 4/10/2007 2:33:06 PM

Beth!!! Its Brent from RC...Hope all is well! Hope to see you soon! YOU ARE TRUELY AN AWESOME MUSICIAN!!! ~ :) Brent , Crowley ~ 4/4/2007 12:10:37 AM

Had a blast at the Alexandria Zoo the other day. Thanks for coming. Hope to see ya at Finegan's Wake sometime. ~ :) Ronnie Bryan , Alexandria, La. ~ 3/28/2007 9:43:40 AM

Your music made a night of pints at Sean Kelly's even more memorable and certainly full of laughs. Anyone who can pull a couple of RUSH songs out of their hat is top shelf. Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny? Why, of course it does. ~ :) Robert , Corpus Christi ~ 3/26/2007 6:55:37 PM

Hi Beth, like Frank I'm visiting your site from time to time to study your tour-dates. Hope you plan a tour through germany soon. I've seen you in New Orleans a few years ago. It was a great night in this pub. Your signed CD is one of my greatest treasure in my cd shelf ;) ~ :) Arnulf , Germany ~ 3/21/2007 10:24:32 AM

I would to love you (no joke) but circumstances are against me so I shall hear your voice, enjoy your music and hope one day to see you perform once again. Thanks for sharing your gift of music. ~ :) Sebbastion , USA ~ 3/15/2007 3:28:16 AM

Burka Durka! What are you doing out of the mud hut, singing infidel music? Get them shoes off and cook me some camel! It ain't Friday yet! Clearly you need a good dose of Allah!!

Get working with Beth & Ron tonight at the Alexandria Zoo. Hope to see you again somewhere down the road. Thanks for any easy day. The Delta Sound Guys - Bill & Benjamin. ~ :) Bill Horton , Indianola, MS ~ 3/11/2007 1:08:06 AM

Beth, sorry the last message was so wordy. Up to you whether or not to let board readers know that I've tried to work out a basic chord tab of Steer by the Stars, posted at http://users.bandzoogle.com/engine14/files/Steer_By_The_Stars.doc. Hope I got close, I plan to cover it at our Starbucks this weekend (I don't get paid!). [of course I'd love to have the exact version from the artist herself!] Cheers, PW ~ :) Patrick , Fairfax, VA ~ 3/5/2007 8:27:02 PM

Hi Beth, it was truly a delight to bring my wife and good friends to see you play last night at Old Brogue! Everyone loved you, not only are you a fabulous musician, you are so bright and witty, it's hard to know which we enjoyed more, your music or your conversation at the mike. As a pseudo-musician myself, at times I wonder why human beings enjoy this things we call music--it doesn't seem to make any sense from an evolutionary standpoint--but when you're playing and singing, all thoughts of ~ :) Patrick , Fairfax, VA ~ 2/19/2007 8:57:04 AM

Hi Beth, I love to listen to your music now for a while. Is there any chance to see you live in Germany some time? Could you please post more video on your website for those people who don't have the possibility to see you live. Are there any plans of recording a DVD? All the best Frank ~ :) Frank , Germany ~ 2/15/2007 6:30:52 PM

Hey Beth, can't wait to see you at the Old Brogue here in Great Falls, Northern Virginia! We'll be at the 8pm show. Have been in BP withdrawal since seeing you 3 nights in a row in October at Sean Kellys. Need a place to stay up here? ;-) PS: promise to play Steer By the Stars. ~ :) Patrick , Fairfax, VA ~ 2/13/2007 9:00:31 PM

I thought she stole the show too, so at least two out of three members agree. :D ~ :) Kevin , Cincinnati ~ 2/5/2007 12:50:16 PM

This is Richard Kean (bagpiper) from Tartanic. I'd like to comment on that last comment. I think it is totaly unfair to compare Beth to Tartanic and say that she stole the show. Clearly she stole the show AND totally kicked ass! Fun listening to you again Beth. ~ :) RIchard Kean , A few places ~ 2/5/2007 2:17:07 AM

What a great live performance in Eureka Springs! You stole the show from Tartanic! Would love to see a strictly acoustic album recorded in your studio! You will always have a welsome and captive audience in Northwest Arkansas! Can't wait to catch another performance!!! ~ :) Shea Douglas , Fort Smith Arkansas ~ 1/27/2007 9:47:09 AM

Beth, Just found out you are FINALLY COMING TO KC! Saweeeeeeeet! Can't wait to see ya! ~ :) Randy K , Kansas City ~ 1/25/2007 8:20:22 AM

Beth - good luck with the gig in NYC. That is one I wish I could see. Anyway, don't wear yourself out there - I am bringing my daughter, home from college, to see you Monday at Sean Kelly's to introduce here to Bethodism. Hope you will still be there after NYC. ~ :) Jim , Jackson, MS ~ 12/13/2006 11:02:32 PM

Saw you roaming the rounds at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival in Hammond. Didn't seem right to bug you on your personal time just to say hi. Just letting you know you're recognized and appreciated. ~ :) Richard Roy , Jennings ~ 12/12/2006 9:59:50 PM

Beth,please call me as soon as you are able. I have lost some of my numbers since the storm. coffee! jeannie ~ :) jeannie breazeale , metairie,La. ~ 11/30/2006 9:20:57 PM

Hey Beth I keep running into people that know you here in Eureka Springs. We are really pumped that you will be here for the festival in January. If you are bringing some fans with you tell them to call in advance for rooms to stay in that weekend. I have arranged some great discounts for rooms. It is a full weekend and many places shut down in January so lodging needs to be arranged before they come or it could cost them more than usual. Thanks, Steve www.EurekaCelts.com ~ :) Steve , Eureka Springs ~ 11/6/2006 6:26:17 PM

Saw her last night at Sean Kelly's. Great will be back ~ :) AJ , ? ~ 11/1/2006 10:10:19 AM

Great show as usual friday night at the Ball. I love Hybrid Vigor. Thanks for recommending it to a drunken Vamp. ~ :) Bart Holden , Vancleave MS ~ 10/29/2006 11:11:37 AM

Came to NOLA for some volunteer work 10/21 through today 10/27, and saw Beth play Saturday, Mon, Tue, Wed...sorry I couldn't have seen more. AMAZING vocalist and AMAZING instrumentalist--either one of these would have had me there every night, but the two together were a sheer musical joy. Plus she's extremely funny/zany, in a puppy/cobra sort of way! I'm ready to move to New Orleans... :-) ~ :) Patrick , Fairfax, VA ~ 10/27/2006 6:40:00 PM

Chick, you got the music in you. Good show last night Patterson. Come back and see us at Fenian's Pub soon. ~ :) Cigar Man , Chimneyville ~ 10/27/2006 11:05:55 AM

Beth, I am bumbed out. Kathy and I are coming to New Orleans for halloween weekend, but the ball is sold out. A visit without Beth, it just won't seem like New Orleans! ~ :) jo anne , baltimore ~ 10/23/2006 10:13:45 PM

I just had the immense pleasure of watching your performance for 2 nights at Sean Kelly's. I have to say it was one of the best I have seen in a long time. I am completely smitten by you on so many levels. I wish there were more women out there like you (but without boyfriends). Many not too many thought 'cause I dont know if the world could handle it (haha). I bought all your cds and am thoroughly enjoying the songs you did and didnt play at Sean Kelly's. I'll definitely be looking for the 4th album in the future. From your fellow RUSH fan. ~ :) Awbrey , Gadsden, AL ~ 10/19/2006 3:42:02 PM

Beth Whats up with Monroe this weekend? Will you be there. I didn't see your name on the schedule today when I checked the festival website. I emailed Doyle about it but I didn't get a clear answer. Chao ~ :) Cigar Man , Chimneyville ~ 10/2/2006 6:53:26 PM

Hi Beth My sister Catherine AKA "Cat" saw you in New Orleans August. I enjoyed your performance and all of your CD's were great. I have introduced your music to all my friend and family who are also Irish music fans. Hope to see you soon. ~ :) Rachel Smith RN , Georgia ~ 9/15/2006 8:43:30 AM

My colleagues, James Watson and Rosalind Franklin, and I enjoyed your show - and the banter about my t-shirt - in late July. Sorry that I missed the other performance you told me about. Alas, I just couldn't find the place. ~ :) Francis Crick , Upstate NY ~ 9/4/2006 4:55:43 PM

I saw you at Enoch's Saturday night. So bold,so funny,so talented and ever so naughty.It must be SATAN. ~ :) Cigar Man , Jackson ~ 8/30/2006 12:29:59 PM

Just double checking about tomorrow night (Saturday 26). I thought I would catch your show at Enoch's. Let me know if there's been a schedule change ~ :) Batman , Gotham ~ 8/25/2006 10:55:34 AM

BETH!!!!! So great to hear your coming bAck to the Mabon Festival in Lyons CO!!!! I wrote you that we met there last year, we talked while Baca Beyond was signing CD's. Anyway your CD is still on the most played around here. See you in Sept Much love prosperity and happiness Tony ~ :) Tony Rupe , Denver CO ~ 8/16/2006 1:17:46 AM

Please post somewhere (here?) exactly what time you start and end your set(s) at the Blue Dog this Sunday - we are gathering a big group to come and listen to you and support you in your hometown this weekend ! ~ :) Joe Paris . org , Lafayette ~ 8/14/2006 9:30:12 PM

Beth, I had the privelege of seeing you perform on Saturday and Sunday at the Dublin Irish Festival in Ohio. I must say I have become a fan and plan on being at the pub when you return to Columbus in September. ~ :) Terry Gibson , Columbus, Ohio ~ 8/11/2006 2:14:55 AM

Beth- I let my mother borrow my car and your "Caught in the Act" CD. She was wondering if she could find the lyrics to your songs posted online or any other way. I know she wants to listen to the other two CDs of yours that I have, but the lyrics question was the one she asked about. I can't tell you how much it meant to me that you played/sang "The Fields of Athenry" when I was down there. I'll never forget that. Thanks again, and I hope to see and hear you play again soon. Peace be with you. ~ :) Amy Evans , Texarkana, Texas ~ 8/9/2006 10:08:12 AM

Hi Beth, Just checking out your website - looks great! So good to see the comments from people who've heard your music. I'm Susie Q's daughter. We met a couple of times. Ever planning to play in New Mexico? Peace ~ Terry ~ :) Terry 'Quiroz' Vuillemot , New Orleans, now in Albuquerque ~ 8/5/2006 8:55:21 PM

I saw you perform several years back at O'Flaherty's in NOLA. Outstanding music and performance. Sad story though -- the tape I bought at the time has long since worn out. Is there any chance I might get a CD copy of Bayonet by your band Creevykeel? I would love to have that music again. ~ :) Stephen Rider , Palatine, IL ~ 8/1/2006 8:39:19 PM

My brother and I were just in New Orleans and we caught two of Beth's shows. She is just an incredible performer. We really enjoyed her music, wit, charm and smile. And those chocolate peanut give-aways were a bonus! Little did she know that my brother and I were in New Orleans to bury our brother who just tragicly died. Droping by and listening to Beth certainly helped my brother and I a lot and put a needed smile on our face when we really needed one. Thanks Beth. We'll never forget you. You're an incredible artisit. You probably don't know how many lives you touch with your art. You need to come up to Alaska and perform. ~ :) Greg Mete , Kodiak Alaska ~ 7/29/2006 12:17:22 PM

Me and my "rubber ducky playing friend" len LOVED your performance wednesday night and loved the music and style. And i am still willing to get the vasectomy.. lol anyway loved the cd i got and hopefully you will put ALL of your music on it. cant wait to see you again ~ :) John A. Darbonne , Clinton La ~ 7/23/2006 3:22:34 PM

ALSO saw you at the Saline festival saturday...I was the odd-looking 50-something guy taking pics of you at your afternoon performance! Hope I wasn't TOO distracting...You were fantastic and I HOPE you'll be back here next year! You MADE the festival for me and for a lot of other people too...almost didn't go! I snared i think your LAST live album that was for sale! Already hoping I can drive down to Dublin Aug. 5 and 6 and see you at the Irish Festival... frank weir ~ :) frankweir , saline, michigan ~ 7/16/2006 8:48:29 PM

Saw you today at Saline Celtic Fest. You were very clever and entertaining even though it was so damn hot. Bought two of your cd's but was sad to see they were out of the live one. Next time! Let me know if you are playing in Chicago. ~ :) Laurie , Chicago IL ~ 7/16/2006 12:25:34 AM

BETH! You are truly awesome! We caught your gig at the Saline Celtic Fest. I was wondering if I could beg you to put a digital copy of your "Range Rover (Whatever, I'm Sure!)" song online for download. I'd be willing to pay for it singly, since you said it's not on any of your CD's. And I also wanted to recommend to you the Koronaburg Renaissance Festival in Corona, CA. It's a primarily a German fest, but it's about 45% Celtic. We worked there for 4 years, and it was the best time of our lives. It's not over-comercialized like a lot of larger ren faires. www.renaissanceinfo.com. But I would love to have a copy of that Range Rover song!!! ~ :) Sarah & Daniel , Ypsilanti, MI ~ 7/15/2006 10:16:08 PM

Really enjoyed your performance at Sean Kelly's last week! After New Orleans we left for Florida and played your CD over and over. So funny, so witty, so much enjoyable! Thanks Beth! ~ :) Al Babbitt , Baton Rouge ~ 7/12/2006 6:34:03 PM

Great sets at the Colorado Irish Fest! I first saw you a few years back at O'Flaherty's in New Orleans. I loved "Range Rover"! Funny as hell! Could you be so kind as to send me the words? The fiddle player in my band would love it! Thanks! Aaron Svoboda The Wild Clover Band www.wildcloverband.com ~ :) Aaron Svoboda , Kearney, NE ~ 7/11/2006 3:28:32 PM

Hi Beth, Long time- glad to see you guys are back in business. I am living in the Seattle area now- among other things, playing baroque guitar (replica of an instrument ca.1630)- I want to get into bouzouki. What kind of instrument do you recommend for a humble beginner?- Best- Jimmy ~ :) Jimmy Brown , Lafayette (now Tacoma, WA) ~ 7/11/2006 3:06:37 PM

Beth, Thanks for the workshop and performance at the Colorado Irish Festival. Since we had authentic Irish weather or maybe Bayou weather, your gig was the bright spot and the "sun was shinning on you" Thanks again and Safe travels. All the best George Cire ~ :) George Cire , Littleton CO ~ 7/10/2006 10:24:58 AM

Beth and Ron, Can't wait to hear you in Saline in a couple of weeks. Needed a Beth fix yesterday, so blasted the Take Some Fire CD all the way to work and back. Made my day. See Ya Lenny ~ :) Lenny , Ann Arbor ~ 7/7/2006 2:43:40 PM

We need Beth up here in the far Northeast! Boston, NY, Hartford, anywhere! Cds are great, but cannot replace the proximity of a bar stage, the dimness, the clouding of liquid spirits, etc. We love your wit and talent. ~ :) Rick F. , Vernon, CT ~ 7/3/2006 7:36:33 PM

OK, lady. Haul your butt back to the DC area. We don't care if it means Sykesville (sheesh!). Did you think we got tired of you? Not a chance (Or is it chance gras!). ~ :) Mike and Bonnie , Gaithersburg MD ~ 6/23/2006 4:45:31 PM

Beth, I don't know an oboe from a bouzouki (some sort of weapon?), but I do know a great performer and performance when I see one....Thanks for the terrific combination of musical talent, humor, wit, social commentary, originality, unpretentiousness, grace, beauty, etc., etc. at Sean Kelly's last night. You are a true diamond (or Petoskey Stone) in the rough! Hope to see you again before heading back to Michigan tomorrow. ~ :) Bruce Szczechowski , Detroit, MI ~ 6/22/2006 1:59:43 PM

Epona In The Air Beth, the St. John's gig was great! I am happy with my CD. Epona will make my movie when it hits the screen. I can email you a chapter from the novel if I know where to send it. I also like Eisht As Mish. I assume it is in German(?). For another good esoteric horse movie, check out Phar Lap. Was nice meeting you, Bert ~ :) Bert , Covington ~ 6/17/2006 3:09:39 PM

Hi Beth. Sorry I did not get a chance to visit during your last gig in Monroe. I enjoy hearing you perform. You have come so far since your days in the Lafayette High School Band. Keep up the good work. ~ :) Derle R. Long , Monroe ~ 5/27/2006 12:12:03 AM

In regards to Beth Patterson's phenomenal performance at Finnegan's Wake, Saturday, 20 May 2006... First of all, Congratulations on your 20,000 CD sales (and all by yourself). We are very impresed! Not only can you sing and play extremely well, but you can also tell wonderful, hilarious stories Both in your music and without. Maybe you should look into some sit-com or standup-com... Anyway, keep up the wonderful work and talent. ...after the performance and hearing the CD, we want more! We hope to see you perform and purchase more CDs again very soon. We do not care if you are going to hell or why... We are just happy you are "coming back"! Besides, your donkey is making waffles in the morning and ... didn't your nymphomaniac goat say, "...that is what we have the sheep for..."? - If you are reading this and you do not understand the previous remarks, go see Bath Patterson Live and then buy her CD; "Caught in the Act"! ~ :) Executive Producer, Hollywood Krewe Motion Picture , Alexandria, LA ~ 5/26/2006 6:54:23 PM

Your performances this week were the highlight by far of my trip to New Orleans. Thank you for the pleasure. Such talent... Do you tour in NYC or NY state at all? If not, can I help set up a gig? Many thanks for sharing your talent. ~ :) Chip Felton , Albany, NY ~ 5/25/2006 10:30:35 PM

Hi Beth, I saw an ad for this and thought you'd be interested: FiddleFest - a celebration of tradition string music in Roanoke, VA July 28-29. www.roanokefiddlefest.org -Doug my wife and I saw you play in N.O. last Summer ~ :) Doug Wiegand , Blacksburg, VA ~ 5/25/2006 1:26:01 PM

Hi Beth, Glad you're coming back to Denver in July for the Colorado Irish Festival. It was there last summer when I first heard the strains of your blues-blazing bouzouki wafting on the hot summer barbeque breeze, and I was transfixed and transfigured (the beer was not to blame). Got my Trinity in December and my fingers have been flying ever since. Thank you! ~ :) John M Jenkins , Windsor, Colorado ~ 5/21/2006 2:12:24 PM

Saw Beth play last night at Finnegans Wake. What a wonderful performance, great music and a true gift for comedy as well. I purchased your CD with Danse de Mardi Gras. I was totally impressed hearing this song played with Bouzouki and Ulliean Pipes. I played with, Bayou Jacque, a traditional Cajun band for four years. We played this song frequently and I always thought it had a definte haunting Celtic quality. Works wonderfully with your rendition. Hope you play here again soon! ~ :) Charles Ward , Alexandria, Louisiana ~ 5/21/2006 11:41:55 AM

Hey, Beth. Been to see you many times in N.O., and once here in Columbus. I am very happy to see that you are gonna be at the Irish Festival in Dublin this year. I'm in a hip-hop group, and I'm gonna try to drag all those fools to see you perform. Expand their horizons a little bit. Been waiting for you to get back to Ohio. Never seen you with a full band before, so pretty interested. ~ :) Eric Hauter , Columbus, Ohio ~ 5/13/2006 2:26:24 AM

Beth: I wandered into Sean Kelly's on the Monday after Jazzfest, planning to have a quick drink. I left 3 hours later, completely entranced by your performance. One of those great happy accidents in life. Anyone who works "Brave Sir Robin" into a song...well, you know. Please add New York to the tour schedule, I'll pay for the hotel (seriously). ~ :) Sean , New York City ~ 5/12/2006 7:55:58 PM

May I remind you that Michigan was French while you all were still eating paella??? Just kidding around ... looking forward to seeing you in Céline this summer. <> ~ :) Jim , Saline, MI ~ 4/26/2006 1:56:47 PM

I caught Beth's act at Sean Kelly's this past Monday night and found her to be wonderfully entertaining! Sad and somber in one moment and laughing my ass off the next. ~ :) Jamie , SF Bay Area ~ 4/22/2006 12:48:42 AM

Hello Beth! My girlfriend and I caught your performance last fall at the Celtic Festival in Monroe and have been wearing out your "Caught in the Act" cd ever since. I see on the 'site they're planning a second festival this year. Any plans yet on if you will be taking the stage? Hoping so. Thanks for the music. ~A. ~ :) Amanda , East Texas ~ 4/11/2006 6:32:49 AM

Beth: We're so accustomed to seeing you @ O'Flaherty's, it was a real treat to have you on our home turf for a change! Really enjoyed your set at the Side Bar @ Fitzgeralds, and we're definitely looking forward to catching up w/ you at Sean Kelly's the next time we're fortunate enough to come to NOLA. (Maybe we'll be able to talk Eric & Beth into coming with us!) ~ :) Karen , Chicago ~ 4/10/2006 2:40:49 PM

Beth - I was travelling on business in New Orleans and saw back-to-back nights of your show at Sean Kelly's. I, and the two other guys I was travelling with, have not stopped raving about how alternately comical, soulful, insightful, outrageous, dynamic, outspoken, controversal and gut-splittingly hilarious you were. I am just sorry we were not able to stay longer or see your show for more nights. Should you come to Chicago again, you can bet we will be in the audience! ~ :) Bryen , Chicago ~ 3/26/2006 10:14:33 PM

What a joy it was to find your music! I share the same name and am delighted to share the same love for Irish Folk music. ~ :) Beth Patterson , St Augustine Florida ~ 3/25/2006 6:36:17 AM

cool stuff! glad you're back and singin'! see you at sean kelly's ~ :) Charles Duffy III , New Orleans ~ 3/22/2006 12:51:22 PM

Beth & Ron, Hope you guys had a good flight and wanted to say again how great it was to have you back to Elgin to open for Gaelic Storm. Do you have more info on your Berwyn gig on April 6? I Googled Fitzgeralds (mmm, prom night)but there were a few choices. ~ :) Butch , Elgin ~ 3/18/2006 6:28:22 PM

Beth, Thankyou so much. You are amazing with you music. It was so nice to hear something different and so inspiring. I saw your performance on March 17, 2006 in Elgin, IL. I will be a forever fan. ~ :) Erin , IL ~ 3/18/2006 11:00:32 AM

Hi, Ryan. I run the Web site of the American Press in Lake Charles, La., where Danny O'Flaherty has been making some plans. Our site has the full story on the home page today. For the next week, the direct link to the story will be: http://www.americanpress.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1188&Itemid=53 Beth, I hope you'll consider coming over to Lake Charles sometime, once this gets going. I caught you at O'Flaherty's a couple of years ago, and was an instant fan. I'd love the chance to see you in my own stomping grounds. ~ :) Roger Demary , Lake Charles, La. area ~ 3/12/2006 2:24:12 AM

Hey Ryan... O'Flaherty's pretty much took a beating from Katrina (some physical damage, but mostly an economic blow) that it couldn't withstand. I'm sad about this, too, but there is a new place called Sean Kelley's that opened last month (where I play Monday and Tuesdays). Danny O'Flaherty has been playing here and there for special concerts, and will probably be doing some occasion shows at Sean Kelly's as well. Nothing will ever be quite the same, of course, but we're rolling with the punches... ~ :) Beth Patterson , ~ 3/11/2006 12:34:38 PM

Does anybody know why O Flaherty's is closing forever? ~ :) Ryan Waldron , New Orleans ~ 3/11/2006 5:58:32 AM

Beth, I saw you play at the North Texas Irish Festival and immediately went to the CD booth! I like your performance style of just having fun with the moment. I also wanted to say THANK YOU for your music...there's a healing quality to it and some good energy that you should be very proud of. Keep it up! -Travis ~ :) Travis Corgan , Dallas, Tx ~ 3/8/2006 11:02:17 AM

Beth, it was so great to see you at NTIF. You ROCK. The Tornaod CD is FANTASTIC. Look for a review - you need to get those guys on a U.S. tour soon. ~ :) Gail Roberts , Dallas, TX ~ 3/7/2006 6:00:50 PM

Hi Beth, had a blast with you and Ron at North Texas, thanks for coming by my booth, had a great time and look forward to doing it again next year. See ya soon at Enoch's. And thanks for turning me on to those chocolate covered peanuts.... what can i say??? We need to start collecting those and call em 'Bethisms'! ~ :) Eddie Cox , Monroe, LA ~ 3/6/2006 11:07:41 PM

Beth, Great to hear your back playing in New Orleans. I visit my daughter & son-in-law there each year and have seen you at O'Flaherty's a few times. Look forward to hearing you at my next visit and will add your new CD to my collection ~ :) Don , Lantana, FL ~ 2/24/2006 1:02:34 PM

Howdy, Looking forward to seeing again at NTIF. Glad to see you are playing the Friday night also. I shall see and hear you then. Stay Crazy ~ :) Micheal Price , TRINITY RIVER WHALERS /TEXAS ~ 2/17/2006 4:39:25 PM

Hello Beth, remember me? I've been wondering how yer doin' in NOLA but I gather from the website that yer okay... I've taken a liking to yer "To the Begging I will Go" song, wrote some new verses to it. Do ya know of any other versions of it that I should checkout? thanx- www.littleboyblue.org ~ :) Little Boy Blue , Oakland ~ 2/15/2006 7:50:28 PM

Happy Birthday, Beth!!! ~ :) Jeff Hingle , Baton Rouge ~ 2/14/2006 4:12:11 PM

In reference to previous post - I just saw Danny O'Flaherty in Alexandria and O'Flaherty's in the Quarter is closed for good, evidently. Danny's brother Patrick has a regular gig at Pat Troy's (Ireland's Own) Pub just off King St. in Alexandria. Now Beth, I was looking forward to seing you in Great Falls. You're telling me (from your schedule) I have to wait to see you at the Alexndria Zoo? Mais Cher - they ALL axed fo' you! ~ :) Michael Hamner , New Orleans/Gaithersburg, MD ~ 2/13/2006 10:44:35 AM

Drat! I cannot believe that for the one day you are coming to the mid-atlantic we have to get a foot or two of snow. We were so looking forward to your show. Just have to keep listening to your CDs until April. and ... Happy Birthday!! ~ :) joe odum , baltimore ~ 2/12/2006 6:40:55 PM

We see you are (re-)opening Sean Kelly's pub tonight. Is that O'Flaherty's, repackaged? We keep looking for information about favorite haunts that may or may not have survived. A cop friend down there told Bonnie that O'Flaherty's survived (but maybe the Grapevine didn't). Come back to DC more often, will ya? ~ :) Bonnie and Mike Hayes , Gaithersburg MD ~ 2/10/2006 10:59:41 AM

Enjoyed your show at Carrolton Station this evening! We haven't laughed that much since pre-K. Come see the Lutherie sometime. ~ :) Janie & Glenn Brock , Reserve, LA ~ 2/10/2006 2:42:07 AM

I saw you in New Orleans last Fall. How are you? I really enjoyed your music, but wondered how you're doing. ~ :) John Murray , Plano Texas ~ 1/19/2006 10:43:25 PM

Hey Beth, I used to work at O'flat's in 2000 for a brief period - and I always used to request 'Steer by the Stars' (was perusing and I think they're sagas of old...but I could be lying. Anywho, I love Eric Orlando and am so excited that you're now playing the station regularly!!! Play between 2/22 & 2/28 so I can see you again!!!! ~ :) Alyson , NOLA/Mass ~ 1/17/2006 6:35:19 PM

Yet another fantastic show. Please keep coming back to Columbus as much as possible, we love you. Thanks for the wonderful cover of Wasted Years, and The Necromancer/Roll The Bones nod. ~ :) Larry Smith , Columbus Ohio ~ 1/16/2006 8:42:01 AM

Hey Beth! I caught one of your shows in NOLA and was blown away! You are extremely talented, beautiful, hilarious, and very inspiring! Thank you for doing what you do and for doing it so well! You ROCK!!! ~ :) Cassandra , West Chester, PA ~ 1/14/2006 6:00:12 PM

Hey, Beth! Is it true?! Are you and that fiddle-playin' hottie who posted below me going to play a show together?? I'd love to see that! "Noodle"ly Yours, Jeff ~ :) Jeff Hingle , Baton Rouge, LA ~ 1/14/2006 2:38:13 PM

Hi Beth, we're very glad to hear you're okay. My husband and I use to watch your shows at O'Flaherty's often, we loved it! I'm so happy to see Goodbye My Old Friend on the newest album, I always use to ask Nick, my husband, to request it! I had finally heard Old McDonalds farm (your version) the last time we went to NO and saw you, same night as the Snow Patrol concert I think... I went to NO for the first time since the hurricane this past weekend and upset to see O'Flaherty's empty and closed off, hope to see you again sometime and that things are going well for you! Best of luck. ~ :) Jill , BR, LA ~ 1/11/2006 10:23:18 PM

Heard your version of "The Lass of Aughrim". I can honestly say I was emotionally moved by your voice. You have gained a fan. I hope to catch one of your shows. You are worth the trip! ~ :) Jarod , Northern Kentucky ~ 1/9/2006 1:51:43 AM

Hi Beth! It's me, Terry ... Um, O'Flaherty's Terry .. saw Jed on Friday and he told me you were going to be here in Dallas soon. Lemme' know ... because Bill (O'Flaherty's) and I are opening a bar/restaurant here in Dallas! Glad to see you and Ron are doing well! Talk soon!!! ~ :) Terry , New Orleans/Dallas, TX ~ 1/8/2006 6:20:47 PM

Beth - I can't understand one word in Steer by the Stars. It's such an amazing song and it's driving me nuts. "Do you shine bright as always, as in ______ of old..." Please help ~ :) Kirk , Attica NY ~ 1/6/2006 3:31:50 PM

Hi Beth, I was curious if you were performing anywhere during Mardi Gras this year. Or is it too soon to say. Cheers, dan ps Is O'Flaherty's really shut down for good? How sad that would be. ~ :) Dan , Denver, CO ~ 12/29/2005 1:44:32 AM

Merry Christmas (or whatever is is you celebrate), everyone! ~ :) Yer Ole Pal Beth Patterson , ~ 12/25/2005 11:58:53 AM

Beth, I was lucky enough to see you perform at the Shannon Pub just outside Buffalo, NY...even the satire brought out a little mist in me, remembering the sultry Monday's in that home we all miss dearly. Thanks for coming this far north, and mentioning me as a fellow evacuee from the stage...that meant a great deal. I'll be back in the sleazy as soon as possible; we'll all rebuild, you'll keep playing, I'll keep drinking.... Thanks again for the little bit of sanity and I'm raising a glass as I just learned from Bill that O'Flaherty's is no more... Matt Connors P.S. - That white, flaky stuff falling from the sky when you were up in Buffalo was actual snow...you've probably seen it in the movies ~ :) Matt Connors , Boston and New Orleans ~ 12/22/2005 8:08:14 PM

Caught you at the Kerry on a whim one rainy night and I'm a better man for it! And no, I'm not from Baton Rouge. ~ :) DD , Minnesota ~ 12/20/2005 11:55:37 PM

We'll be in NOLA soon, glad your still playing there, plan to catch you at Kerry's now that O'Flaghery's is no more. Will very much miss that place and great folks there. ~ :) Jeannine , Ohio ~ 12/16/2005 8:05:32 AM

Beth, I'm with the Coast Guard and spending time in New Orleans helping with the Katrina Response. After about ten 12 hour days in a row I ended up at the Kerry where you were playing. I must say that gave the best show I've seen in a long time. Your music is amazing and your show is a blast! Thanks for taking my mind off the task at hand here in N.O.! Maybe you'll come play in San Francisco so I can catch another show after I leave here. ~ :) Michael , San Francisco ~ 11/27/2005 4:19:42 PM

Saw you last night at the Shannon Pub great great show. Hope you find your way back to Buffalo soon. ~ :) John , Buffalo NY ~ 11/20/2005 8:04:51 AM

I was reading your messages and I realize some things I took for granted. Simply going to O'Flaherty's on a monday or tuesday night. Free red beans and rice on monday, a beautiful folk musician playing on the stage and a GREAT atmosphere. I don't even know if O'Flaherty's is open now. :( I haven't been to town since the storm cuz it's depressing. The one thing I long for now is for things to get back to normal. I hope the days of you playing at O'flaherty's on a regular basis will happen again. ~ :) Buz , Slidell, La ~ 11/17/2005 3:22:29 PM

Do I smell SAUSAGE? ~ :) Janacivis , Metropolis, sd ~ 11/13/2005 11:43:24 PM

I saw Beth last November in New Orleans at O'Flaherty's on the night of the election. She is a truly great performer. I purchased "Take Some Fire" and it ranks amongst the most played music on my iPod. ~ :) john noonan , Le Claire, IA ~ 11/3/2005 8:49:20 PM

Beth, I saw you at the Maybon Festival in Lyons CO, and we spoke briefly as Baca Beyond was signing CD's, I showed you that I bought caught in the Act. Your show was A+++ and the CD is incredible, I'm making everyone I know listen to it. I wish you loads of success and I'll be in the crowds whenever you can make it to Colorado. ~ :) Tony , Denver CO ~ 11/1/2005 9:18:30 PM

Well, a lot more people in Monroe know how wonderful your music and you are. Thanks so much for the wonderful performance. My dad wanted to know if you will be back next year! Oh, and thanks again for the duet thing, I can die a happy man now, tee hee! Later, Tom ~ :) Tom Mccandlish , Monroe, La. ~ 10/26/2005 3:25:15 PM

Beth, After I saw and heard you perform at O'Flaherty's last July I kept telling people about the extremely beautiful world class musician who was also personable and approachable (I got your autograph). I work for the Corps of Engrs and spent Sep in the parishes around N.O. assessing land for trailers for displaced people. Hope I made a positive difference. N.O. will come back better then ever! I came to this site to buy more CDs. Glad I found this board. Best of health and happiness to you, Ron, your families and friends. ~ :) Tom Catarella , Sacramento, CA ~ 10/10/2005 1:36:57 AM

Hi, Beth! I sat next to you on a flight from BWI to B'ham, AL a few years ago. We discussed music (of course) on that most enjoyable morning flight. Later on, I went to see you perform each time I went to New Orleans for conventions. I've been thinking about you ever since the storm hit; I'm SO glad to hear that you and Ron are safe! Take care and know that we're thinking of you! Hang in there! ~ :) Christina , Orlando, FL ~ 9/8/2005 6:55:43 PM

So glad you are safe...I heard you at O'Flaherty's in December. Saw you originally at O'Friel's in Wilmington with Betsy McGovern and then with both her and Justin Murphy, I think it was. Sorry the Poor Clares are no longer together, but love your solo work too. Hybrid Vigor has given me lots of enjoyable driving pleasure! I look forward to more of your music. Hope New Orleans can return and that the levees are done right this time! It is inexcusable that the federal response was so delayed. I'm not a Newt Gingrich fan, but his remarks have been right on the money this time! ~ :) Maureen Tucker , Newark, DE ~ 9/4/2005 12:36:33 AM

Dear Beth and Ron--I'm relieved to hear that you two are ok. Filled with grief at the inundation of our beloved city. It will rise from the mire, but at such a cost.

Hey Beth If you remember Tobi (my German beau) and me LEA, who sat in with you last November at your weekly thing at the suggestion of good old Keith at Moonlight...

Wishing you only the best. lea ~ :) LEA , Washington DC ~ 9/2/2005 3:04:55 PM

Hey, everybody...I just wanted to thank you all for your messages, calls, thoughts and prayers. Ron and I evacuated in an extreme hurry at about 3 AM on Sunday, and we are high and dry in Lafayete, LA. We are trying not to freak out, as we don't know the situation with our home, our studio, and many of our friends, since all lines of comunication are down right now out there. But we have good food and clean clothes, so we are luckier than most. I can't change my schedule online right now, but I guess I don't need to tell you that my New Orleans gigs are off. I can't send an e-newsletter right now, but I will keep you guys posted on everything as soon as I can. My thanks to you all for your support... Love, Beth ~ :) Beth Patterson , ~ 8/31/2005 4:44:20 PM

Glad to hear you guys are OK according to the last post. Hope to see at the Potomac Fest for another year. ~ :) Tracy , Lynchburg, VA ~ 8/31/2005 3:40:44 PM

Beth, We sure hope you're someplace safe (and dry!) right now! We've been thinking about you over the last 36 hours. Hope we'll see you soon somewhere around DC. ~ :) Elizabeth & Neil , Gaithersburg, MD ~ 8/31/2005 2:09:36 AM

Hey Beth, brilliant cd's!!! I had "Take Some Fire" stuck in me head the whole time of being marooned in Jamestown, KY. Which was a good thing, you know. I'm figuring a plan to catch one of your TX shows or possibly CO. Let me know if you have coordinates receptive to longer-length missives. Anyway what I was just saying is, BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~ :) Sarah F , Pomona, CA ~ 8/16/2005 4:08:28 PM

Beth, It was great to have you up here for the Elgin Fine Arts Fest. We know Shirtless & Glistening guy enjoyed the set. As always, you were fantastic as was Kalafka! Hopefully we'll be able to have you back when you can do a not-so-much-all-ages-show and maybe sell some more CD's. I'm just saying. ~ :) Butch Wilhelmi , Elgin, IL ~ 8/8/2005 12:49:06 PM

Beth, We are planning to come and hear you in Elgin on the 6th and 7th. Would you have any time while you are there to go out for a meal or something? We are looking forward to seeing you. Aunt Carol ~ :) Aunt Carol , Peoria, IL ~ 7/30/2005 8:45:33 AM

My son and caught the band at the Irish festival here. He was the wee mon playing air something or other by himself when no one else would step out into the clearing. He is now inspired, although a fair player already, and has decided to play music that makes people happy. He says thanks. ~ :) Kenneth Glen , Littleton, CO ~ 7/20/2005 12:25:32 AM

I saw you in New Orleans in a near private showing except for the drunkn girl you handled so well. Your humor is brilliant. I bought your Caught in the Act and it is deep and insightful . I can tell that you pour your life into your music. I hope to catch p with you again sometime ~ :) Tom , Ohio ~ 7/18/2005 9:53:37 PM

Been curious for awhile, I realize your schedule is rather full, being much in demand, but, what's the approx expected renumeration for a gig in the Memphis area. Offline response is fine of course. ~ :) David Corbett , Memphis area ~ 7/18/2005 4:36:44 PM

Thanks for playing the Two of Cups. Look forward to hearing the duet version! ~ :) Bill , Ann Arbor, MI ~ 7/15/2005 10:51:59 PM

Beth, I loved your show at the CO Irish Fest. We were talking about how you slipped a little ELP into "Ye Jacobites by Name" and various other songs that fit different tunes. Here's one popped into my head while doing dishes. "Raglan Road" sung to the tune of the Gilligans Theme. It works try it. You are incredibly talented and we just loved hearing you sing, and crack jokes. Please come back to Colorado. SOON!! ~ :) Drew Manion , Golden, CO ~ 7/14/2005 5:09:31 PM

Truely enjoyed your show in Ann Arbor. My youngest daughter has stolen your cd's from me...I may never see them again. Anyway, thought I would give you the website for the Wheatland Music Festival in Michigan. www.wheatlandmusic.org.

We enjoyed your performance at O'Flaherty's Irish Pub in New Orleans last month and your CD-hybrid vigor since our return home. What was the name of the performance where you sat in a chair, sand and carried out a beat with your feet. Thanks for a great evening and the very best of luck with your career! ~ :) John and Nancy Siner , Kingsport, TN ~ 6/24/2005 10:37:53 PM

I’m looking for a guitarist to play in New Orleans before and at a wedding rehearsal dinner and who knows some Irish classic songs and perhaps Celtic as well. The date is October 21 in the French Quarter and the time is in the evening about 6 pm to 9. I understand that this may not be of interest to you but just in case or just in case you know of someone, I'm at jimg@gelpilaw.com please let me know. Thanks, Jim Gelpi ~ :) Jim Gelpi , New Orleans, La. ~ 6/18/2005 12:32:17 PM

Hey Beth, Thanks for entertaining me whilst I was awaiting my airport shuttle at 3:20am on Tuesday evening. You've probably heard this before, but seeing you at that Irish pub reminded me of Phoebe performing at Central Perk on the show Friends, LOL. You are pretty kooky (in a good way). Hope to catch your act when you come to Denver in July. Cheers! ~ :) Dan , Denver, CO ~ 6/16/2005 1:28:30 PM

Hey! I recently (Very recently..just today..in fact) saw you at O'Flahertys and you were awesome! I bought one of your cds, and it's great so far. I was wondering if its not too much trouble, if you could send me the full lyrics to your "we should worship the god elvis.." song. I can only remember a few lyrics.. something about satan looking like mariah carrey? and.. the muslim bit with the cat stevens lyrics? Yes. haha. It was great, i'd love to give my friends a laugh. Thanks! take care, jackie. ~ :) Jackie , Davenport, FL ~ 6/16/2005 12:48:18 AM

Hi Beth!! I've caught your gigs at O'Flaherty's before I ventured over to Korea for a teaching job. My friend sent me your "Caught in the Act" CD and I absolutley loved it. I can simply close my eyes and listen to your music and I'm back at O'Flaherty's Irish Pub (all I needed was some Shepherd's Pie and some good beer). Thanks for putting out such a great CD!! Cheers.....Michael ~ :) Michael , Slidell, LA & Seoul, South Korea ~ 6/8/2005 12:15:02 AM

Hi Beth, I look forward to getting some of your cd's-there's no Celtic album I cherish as much as my Altan cd's save for Change of Habit-easily one of my favorite albums ever. Is there any chance for another Clares get-together? Thanks so much for the musical pleasure you have given. Slan ~ :) Byrd Wyatt , Macon, GA ~ 5/30/2005 9:16:31 PM

Beth, I caught your act at O'Flaherty's a couple days ago, I was in town on business. Thank you so much for a great show...I bought 'Caught In The Act' and I have not taken it out of the CD player yet. Your music is so powerful! You rock, thanks again, cant wait to get your other 2 CDs. You have made another lifelong fan. ps: what's the story behind "Goodbye, My Old Friend"? It breaks my heart to hear it, but I cant stop playing it.. ~ :) Andy P , Daytona Beach, FL ~ 5/28/2005 11:51:02 AM

Really enjoyed your show at O'Flahertys earlier this week. It would be great to get you up to Conor O'Neils in Boulder and/or the Scottish & Irish Festival in Estes Park in September. Thanks! ~ :) Steve Nerem , Boulder, CO ~ 5/26/2005 11:34:47 PM

Hey Beth. I really enjoyed meeting you at the Blue Moon on Sunday night. It's one thing to hear your music on a CD, but it was just awesome to be in your presence as you played. As I told you, your rendition of "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden was awesome! I stand firm on wanting the first copy of your "Rush Tribute" CD! LOL Andre & I hope to see you again soon! Take care! ~ :) Rob LeBlanc , Opelousas, LA ~ 5/25/2005 5:04:22 AM

Hello Beth Patterson, I am studying the Irish Octave/bouzouki and came across info about you when googling the sudject. It was a hop skip and a jump to blue man and then off to CD baby where I purchased "Caught.. & Hybria.." Your music is wonderful and I look forward to seeing and maybe meeting you someday. I am courious as to how you came to pick the bazouk as a main instrument. It is not all that common. Where, why, how, who did you study it? For the first several months I treated like a big mandolin, my first instrment of choice, until I finally found an instructor at an Irish session. Now I am nearly overwelmed with it's viralsitilility (is that a word? I think i'll leave it anyways), and practice it more than my mando. Any suggestions, ideas, music to track down to listen and study/EJOY? What are some of your favorite luthiers? I am currently playing a 10string Jimmy Moon. She is wonderful but is probably not my last or final choice. What do you play? Why? I have never in all my years written to an artist before, but you standout as differant. I look forward to a brief note if possible. Any info/suggestions you can pass my way would be recieved with gratitude. Thank You Best Regards, Valle Tiberti ~ :) valle tiberti , sacramento, calif. ~ 5/8/2005 11:42:03 AM

hi beth. I love the bouzouki...spelling?> i am into alot of music too... you play very well..and do music well! good luck with your music in the future! www.marissamarchant.com/music.html ~ :) marissa marchant , boston mass ~ 5/6/2005 4:40:19 PM

Beth, Thanks for making my stay in New Orleans even better! I had a great time at O'Flaherty's - of course I only kept going back for the Guiness! For a Louisianna lass you make a great Celt. Like I told you, You're terrific - terrific, picking, terrific singing and teriffic looking. All the very best, Tony ~ :) Tony Lyttle , Woking, England (ex Ireland) ~ 5/6/2005 3:01:00 PM

BETH, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE YOU AT O'FLAHERTY'S ON APRIL THE 2ND. I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR MUSIC AND I AM REALLY ENJOYING YOUR LATEST CD. I HAD REQUESTED THAT YOU SING A RICHARD THOMPSON SONG, AT THE DIMMING OF THE DAY, WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT, BECAUSE YOU HAVE GREAT TALENT. I HAVE ALSO SEEN RICHARD THOMPSON LIVE, UP HERE IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH OF INDIANA. I HOPE THAT YOU MAKE A NORTHERN SWING TO YOUR TOURING. BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE.

Hi Beth, saw you both at O'Flaherty's and at the Moonlight Music Cafe in Birmingham, AL. (We're the couple you keep seeing...) Anyway, I never did talk to you after the B'ham show, and I intended to. Still bringing my girlfriend down to NOLA May 3-6th, and wanted to know if you're going to be at O'Flaherty's that week. Your show schedule doesn't say... You also mentioned that you could give us some good suggestions for "kissing the New Orleans Blarney Stone," without being TOO touristy. If you thought of anything, please let me know. Keep up the good work, Paul and I enjoy your shows immensely. I know Shannon will love you too... ~ :) Gina and Paul , Huntsville/Birmingham, AL ~ 4/8/2005 10:35:33 PM

Saw you at Celtic Fest in Gonzales and was mightily impressed. Went home that night with all three of your CDs. Still don't know what to think about the whole "get your drawers out your booty" chorus... must be a N'Awlins thing? 1488 ~ :) Robert , Baton Rouge LA ~ 4/5/2005 1:27:08 AM

Hi Beth--I saw that you sent us an email but our spam kileer blocked it, probably as a result of the dance we did during your last set on Saturday. IT was great to see you againa nd dance for you ( we're your private dancers). Please resend your message and get your drawers out ya booty please! Thanks ad all the best Gordon and Christy McLeod ~ :) Gordon McLeod , Tyler , Texas ~ 4/4/2005 2:52:49 PM

Hey, Beth! I recently heard you play at O' Flaherty's and I think your extremely talented and blessed. Your voice is overwhelming as well and your very good at what you do. I look forward to hearing more of your work and I'll make sure to let people know about you! Well take care and keep ya head up! Jesse G. ~ :) Jesse , New Orleans, La ~ 3/30/2005 12:51:15 AM

Tupelo show is over, got home safe & sound about 2am.. Reaction to full frontal live show? Kiddo's, watch the video's, buy the CD's, roadtrip to a show. you will not be disappointed. The only warning sticker I'd put on the door of a venue.. expect a good abdominal workout from laughter, and drink with a straw. Spewing adult beverage on another attendee, a punchline hits is not very good manners. Oh.. Beth.. London or the Moon.. "Like.. I get it now.. hehe" David ~ :) David Corbett , Maroin, AR ~ 3/28/2005 2:35:41 PM

Finally got my hands on "Caught in the Act" - Kickass!!! Especially love "Holier Than Thou" - my own path has been told to me many times, and whenever someone tells me I'm going there, I tell them "going - hell, I'm drivin the bus!!!" (and of course I registered drivinthebus.com for one of my personal websites). You may recall that my daughter (who now hums virtually every song from "Take Some Fire" and commandeers my CD player in the car, forcing me to listen to endless hours of that CD over and over and over and over - honestly, I'm sick of you (he said, tongue planted firmly in cheek while typing))... what was I saying? Oh yeah, my daughter also approves of the new CD, and naturally had to ask my what "Darlin' Please" was all about. Glad to finally get a taste of - but certainly not the TOTAL (not one reference to Warner Brothers or Monty Python, sigh) - live experience that is seeing you in person. Nice to hear a few familiar tunes I first heard at O'Flaherty's. Keep cranking the CDs out - I know you've got a plethora of material that needs to be put to disc. ~ :) David Robert Wooten , Little Rock, Arkansas ~ 3/27/2005 7:24:03 PM

Hey Beth, Thanks for the CDs. I particularly like your original music. I also love the way you used that picture of Mom on "Caught In The Act". Bart ~ :) Bart , ~ 3/26/2005 7:38:19 PM

Looking forward to Sat night in Tupelo. Driving over from AR just for the show. I hope combat boots, FF t-shirt & kilt won't be overdressed. ~ :) David Corbett , Marion, AR (next to Memphis) ~ 3/25/2005 2:26:37 PM

You're an angel! Some friends of mine and I came to see you on Wednesday (before St. Patrick's Day) in O'Flaherty's... You might remember them- a handful of rather rowdy boys who came to see you last year, too, and requested some songs and bought a cd for Aaron, who's getting married and couldn't be there this year... Anyways, they had talked you up something fierce... and still didn't do you justice. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your performance! It *made* our trip to New Orleans. :) ~ :) Holly K. , Carrollton, TX or Stillwater, OK ~ 3/21/2005 1:21:18 AM

Beth I just got to say I do enjoy your music! I will caught you at the Potomac Celtic Fest! Thus also I would love to speak with you about putting some of your music into a upcoming independent film! Thus to see if you wanted to play a few places around PA/NJ/NY ?? Drop me a message at Mikail17402@yahoo.com Thanks for you time! MIKAIL ~ :) Michael Gavitt Jr , York,PA ~ 3/19/2005 7:21:02 PM

BETH! I soooo love the new CD. What an honor to be thanked by you. When we were tiny children, I knew you had musical talent, but I had no idea you were going to grow up and be so amazing. What a blessing to be able to do what you've always loved for a living. You're truly gifted and it's my honor to say we grew up together. I'm so proud of you - I brag about you all over the USA! ~ :) Andre Arceneaux , Lafayette, LA ~ 3/18/2005 10:59:16 AM

Loved seeing you when you visited Md. Was thinking of you when watching American Idol tonight Wednesday Mar. 16, 05 (Lindsey Cardinale if from Ponchatoula) and I was cheering her on. You are already a superstar!!! Scott Meenen Laurel Md. ~ :) Scott Meenen , Laurel MD ~ 3/17/2005 12:22:58 AM

Where O Where has the time gone since you performed so fabulously at the Ark and at the other performance. You were simply fabulous and I'm sorry for just getting around to letting you know. Have read CWG 1 and CWG 2 and have started CWG 3. Good to hear that your new CD is out. Will have to contact John about that. ~ :) Ken Warner , Ypsilanti, MI ~ 3/15/2005 12:16:44 PM

So glad you two are on this planet....... ~ :) Father Flannigan , Bourbon Street ~ 3/14/2005 11:09:11 PM

Hi Beth, saw you for the first time at Enoch's on March 12. "Fantastic show" is the understatement that comes to mind! :-) I'm a guitar player that would love to learn bouzouki. Any thoughts on what make/model would serve well a dedicated beginner? Any other pointers for picking up such an instrument? Cheers, ~ :) Brad , Monroe, LA ~ 3/14/2005 11:08:53 PM

CONGRATS, BETH W PATTERSON!!!!!!! OLD RAINBOW HERE...SEARCHING FOR YOU! I'VE MISSED YOU DREADFULLY! NEED TO CATCH UP! ...BEEN PAINTING, WRITING, BARDING: EMAIL ME-(rose_b@excite.com), YOU MYSTICAL, MAGICAL MUSICIAN!!!!!!! ~ :) Rose Bratcher , New Orleans, LA ~ 3/11/2005 10:35:38 AM

Wow! Loved your music! I must find one of those 8 string mandolins and tune it to GDAD. Hope you stay clear of the mad little tyke and his mum. Cheers ~ :) Don Scott , New Orleans ~ 3/1/2005 6:14:05 PM

You were here at the old Brogue on the 13th (i'm the chick with the green snakeskin combat boots) and it took me until now to post. I hate being this overwhelmingly busy. I have the french words to "Raisin" on the lyric sheet from "caught in the act" and can sing along with it just fine, but I have NO IDEA what I'm singing about. Can you help me please? Thanks! -Kristin ~ :) Kristin Jackson , Ashburn, VA ~ 3/1/2005 5:02:38 PM

Wouldn't you like to come to Boston? :-) http://www.clubpassim.org/ would probably love to have you-- conveniently located right in Harvard Square! Of course, there are more tourists than students wandering Harvard's grounds, and they take pictures of the squirrels. I kid you not-- it's really quite alarming. But anyway, Boston is a fabulous place with lots of places to hang out and eat and shop... c'mon, you know you want to... :-) ~ :) Aga , Boston, MA ~ 2/27/2005 8:52:51 PM

Great to see you last night in Rockville, MD. You were excellent as always. Hope you had fun on your birthday, I know we did. Thanks for signing my CD. I love "Caught in the Act"! ~ :) Jen , ~ 2/15/2005 10:38:31 AM

Beth, saw you in Great Falls yesterday afternoon, and you were brilliant as usual. (Like I said at the end of your show.) I was amazed to learn that you toured to places near me. You've always been one of those friends I've looked forward to seeing when I've visited New Orleans; I never miss you when I'm in town. Seeing you here in Virginia brought back a lot of memories of good times I've had there. Your CD has been on every long trip I've made over the last few years (like 20-hour drives to N.O.) and now that I know you get around (er... figuratively) I won't have to rely on it alone to get my 'fix'. ~ :) Kevin , Herndon, VA ~ 2/14/2005 11:37:06 PM

Happy birthday Beth! ~ :) Buz , Slidell, La ~ 2/14/2005 2:39:40 PM

Beth, how refreshing your Balt gig was the other night. Tempted to try and hit the Rockville Md show on Monday and become a full-fledged "groupie." The music was great, and you were fun, just edgy enough, refreshing, energizing, and very, very entertaining! BTW, I heard there was a man who refused to wash his face for a month because he considered it a work of (your) art..... (evil smile) ~ :) MErb , Hyattsville, Maryland ~ 2/13/2005 11:31:46 PM

I saw you at The Old Brogue in Great Falls tonight and we had a great time. A friend of mine came along and she thought you were wonderful too. I especially loved "Goodbye, My Old Friend" and the many Monty Python references. I wish I could come out and see you at HMTrad tomorrow (I love that place), but it's a school night (bah). In any case, I'll definitely be looking forward to the Potomac Celtic Festival. Too bad I can't think of a way to end this post...oh well. ~ :) Meghan , Vienna, VA ~ 2/13/2005 11:05:08 PM

OH Beth...I'm so sad, I see you're playing at O'Flaherty's tonight and not back until 2/15...my husband and I leave for NO tomorrow and come back to yucky, snowy Buffalo on 2/15....we saw you back in May when we were there for our honeymoon. We've been looking forward to seeing you again on our next trip. Oh well, we plan on going to NO annually so hopefully we'll see ya next year. BTW...have a very Happy Birthday. ~ :) Andrea & Scott , Buffalo, NY ~ 2/9/2005 12:47:45 PM

Hi Beth: We really enjoyed your show this past week in New Orleans. We were the ones that liked the dirty/insulting songs and live in between Houston and Galveston. We look forward to hearing you again in the future. We will be sure to keep on the lookout for when you are playing in Houston. We come to New Orleans two to three times a year. We'll be sure to come hear you play again. Take care. ~ :) Kathy & Tracy LaGrange , Dickinson, TX ~ 1/20/2005 2:58:59 PM

Hi once again!!! Thank you for the autographed CD's which John brought back for me. I've listened to and followed the words to your songs several times and I'm intrigued by the poetic beauty and the mystery of many of them. Now more than ever I'm really looking forward to seeing and hearing you in person at the ARK and meeting you for a couple or three at Connor O'neil's next door. ~ :) Ken Warner , Ypsilanti,MI ~ 1/19/2005 2:43:04 PM

oh yea, on hybrid vigor, number 10 "steer by the stars" is the greatest song i ever heard, , mike ~ :) mike and cathy , hankamer, texas ~ 1/14/2005 12:46:21 AM

fantastic, we make a point to go to o'flaherty's when we go to new orleans. we love your music and have all your cd's, we are waiting for the next one. ~ :) mike and cathy , hankamer, texas ~ 1/14/2005 12:38:52 AM

Hi Beth! Long time no see. Remember Pimp Olympics? "Kill your wife, Frank." "Umm,I'm not married..." It's been a while. I'm all married and fatherly now. E-mail me so's we can catch up! Chase ~ :) Chase Roush , RAF Lakenheath, UK (USAF) ~ 1/13/2005 8:27:00 PM

Hey, so what is the status on the new live CD? Is there a projected release date? Big fan of Beth, her music, and her glorious sense of humor! ~ :) Jen , Silver Spring, MD ~ 1/4/2005 10:36:22 AM

Hey! I hope the Happy Chrismahanakwanzmas / New Years thing was great for you guys. I have been a total slacker but I have been meaning to come here and tell you thanks super much for spending my birthday on 12/4 with me. I guess it was lucky those places in CA saw the benefit of paying you to be there and stuff. I still know you were there for me! Loved the music as always and I can't wait 'til we find an excuse to get back to NOLA or you come back to CA which ever comes first. ~ :) Rob , San Diego, CA ~ 1/3/2005 6:31:24 PM

Hi Beth, Thanks for sharing New Year's Eve with us. This was our second time to see you perform and it was even better than the first! We're hoping to see you again here instead of going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! ~ :) Stephen & Patti Thompson , Tupelo, MS ~ 1/2/2005 9:20:20 PM

Hi Beth- Congratulations on your solo career! I'll always enjoy memories of our meetings and your performances at the Potomac Celtic fest, and hope both may happen again and often. Have a look at my site if you like at www.jimwearne.com . Cheers! Jim ~ :) jim wearne , Woodridge IL ~ 12/27/2004 3:36:10 PM

Hey Beth, Love the shows, love the site!! Here's a small tribute to a rendition of yours... http://djc-art.net/g-12days.html ~ :) Mark X , Slidell, LA ~ 12/16/2004 4:58:41 PM

Hi!!! John Cordon, who I've known for 35 years has spoken very highly of you and I'm looking forward to seeing you at the ARK in January ~ :) Ken Warner , Ypsilanti, MI ~ 12/8/2004 1:19:00 PM

Hi Beth! We had SUCH a great time hanging out and seeing you perform last weekend. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun or laughed so hard! I was an instant fan after that first song at Alice's Restaurant so I just HAD to go to all of your other gigs. I just wanted you to know I'm not really a stalker.......really. I hope you come back to California soon! ~ :) Lucy Lyons , San Francisco, CA ~ 12/7/2004 11:27:07 PM

Saw you tonight at french quarter.You were great.Weeeeeeeeee! ~ :) steve roeling , N.O. lousiana ~ 12/7/2004 2:33:34 AM

We had the good fortune to see and hear Beth Patterson last night in San Francisco. If she is ever in the SF bay area again, we would would definitely attend. She has a great voice and some of the most energetic rhythms we've heard in some time. ~ :) Donald & Beth Eshelman , San Carlos, CA ~ 12/6/2004 9:45:38 AM

I saw Beth two years ago in Monroe, LA, in the company of her older bro. So when you gonna play in Southern California so I can hear you again? You should hear this lady play--its wonderful. Her CDs have become some of my listening staples along with that crazy group Gaelic Storm. ~ :) Heather Stottman , Riverside, CA ~ 12/4/2004 11:48:27 PM

Saw Beth in New Orleans a few years ago. She seems to have been doing better now for herself. And she certainly deserves it. I was plesantly surprised to see her homepage when surfing the web. I saw her in the French Quarter in New Orleans in an Irish bar performing on her own. During the break I spoke to her and she comented on my silver accordion hanging on a chain around my neck. I asked if she could sing Dougie MaClean's song, Caledonia. And of course she knew it. She knows a wealth of songs indeed and performs them very well. I wish you well Beth if you are reading this and hope you rcareer really takes off. Greetings from Jock of the Primrose Way band www.theprimroseway.nl ~ :) Jock Shaw , Arnhem, The Netherlands ~ 12/4/2004 7:53:50 AM

You have to see her live and up close at O'Flaherty's in New Orleans - so many great songs that probably aren't "commercial" enough for a CD, but really work in that small solo setting. An entrancing stage presence when she's playing and singing - a mix of totally entertaining, wickedly funny storytelling and biographic ramblings in-between. And can that lady play the bouzoukis or what!! Is there going to be a live CD? I can't wait! ~ :) Chuck and Jean Dyke , Punta Gorda, FL ~ 11/17/2004 11:12:15 PM

I have never heard such incredible music before in my life.I have only seen her on public t.v. here in las vegas. I just can not get over how amazingly talented she is.She is without a doubt my favorite musician.I hope she plays out here sometime. ~ :) mike , las vegas,nv ~ 11/9/2004 11:30:43 PM

I was in LA Music Factory a year or so ago and by chance happened to listen to your CD. I fell in love immediatly with your music. After listening to the CD for months and yearning for a live performance, I was fortunate to have the chance to see you at Borders not long after. Unfortunately since then, your performance schedule hasn't met with my schedule until last Friday when I was lucky to find you in my little town of Covington @ St. Johns. I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much I appreciate your music and what you do. Come back soon! ~ :) Becky , Covington ~ 11/7/2004 10:22:37 AM

I just wanted to say that I've fallen in love with your music =) A friend brought back one of your CDs from New Orleans while he was there on buisness, and I have been listening to it for a year or so since.... I really should give him the CD back, or buy him a new one =P Would love to see you down here, in Florida =) Best of luck to you! ~ :) Austin , Central Florida ~ 11/6/2004 2:02:51 PM

Thanks for playing in Dayton a while back! We loved being able to see you again! Tell Ron Hi and will finally try to get the UHF stuff sent off soon.We've been on the road for what seems like forever!Gotta go play with my rubber ducky so bye for now!Badgers,!we don't need no stinking BADGERS!Love always, Mike & Patty ~ :) Mike & Patty , Taylor,Mi. ~ 11/6/2004 11:47:54 AM

On only our second trip to New Orleans, we brought a couple with us and talked them into going to O'Flaherty's, telling them on the way about a musician we heard there two years ago, and low and behold, not knowing you played there quite often, there was Beth! Couldn't believe it, they were as blown away as we were. Is it possible to book you for a performance? If so, would like to explore for a special event @ 1 year from now. ~ :) Jim McLaughlin , Homosassa, Fl. ~ 11/4/2004 8:03:25 PM

Hi Beth, hope you and Ron can come to the Halloween Party as my guests. It is Saturday, Oct. 30th, from 9pm till 2am, at Rosy's Jazz Hall, corner Valence and Tchoupitoulas in N.O. Anne Rice will be making an appearance at Les Temps Des Vampires around 9:15 so be there early to see her! I might see you tonight at O'Flarity's with some out of town friends here for the party. Remember to sing Rubber Duckie! See ya soon! Love ya! Suzie Q. ~ :) Suzie Q , New Orleans, LA ~ 10/28/2004 1:25:57 PM

I was in town for a meeting. found my way to your show with friends. Lots of Jamison and you made for a great night. You have a new fan! ~ :) J.Lee , Annapolis, Maryland ~ 10/10/2004 9:00:41 AM

Take Some Fire has recently been my most listened to CD. I've been impressing a great many of my friends with it (and a lot of my friends are decent musicians themselves). The next time you come to Northern Virginia, a lot of recent converts will be there with me. A show of yours is always a treat. I'm hoping to catch you in New Orleans sometime this year as well. You truly have a gift, and I hope to be able to experience more of it. ~ :) Kristin Jackson , Ashburn, VA ~ 10/8/2004 11:02:24 PM

So last night I was listening to Nemesis, and I randomly started singing, "I'm you marmoset, marmoset, marmoset....." *grin* I still think you desperately need to show up at a filk convention. ~ :) Mary Bertke , Columbus, OH ~ 10/7/2004 3:48:05 PM

I was at O'Flaherty's on 8/14 - a Saturday night. It was a low turnout, but it made the music that much more intimate. I can't wait to see her again in a week, when I'm in town for the 10/11 show. Hopefully I can bring a friend or two. ~ :) Travis Ploeger , New York, NY ~ 10/4/2004 2:11:40 PM

Beth, going to see your show was one of the best things about living in New Orleans! I hope you get a chance to come visit the Pacific Northwest sometime. ~ :) Jonathan McCool , Seattle, WA ~ 9/30/2004 2:07:19 AM

Hi beth. I've seen you in New Orleans and of course have your CDs. I notice that you will be in Northern California in December. Any chance of a So. Cal. appearance? Say maybe Molly Malone's in LA, or Finn McCools in Santa Monica, or perhaps even The Harp in Orange County... ~ :) Bart Shattuck , Los Angeles, CA ~ 9/29/2004 2:20:04 PM

Hi Beth Came across your name on a list of female bouzouki players, and eneded up on your site - we met a number of years ago in Miltown Malbay when I was hugely impressed by your bouzouki playing at some sessions we were both playing at. As a true-blue guitarist I was trying to dabble in some bouzouki at the time, and it was hearing you playing that convinced me to standardise on GDAD tuning. I'm delighted to see that you are enjoying success in your music, you are a very special talent. ~ :) Mark Lysaght , Dublin, Ireland ~ 9/21/2004 5:37:04 AM

It was Saturday, Sept. 11th. I had never heard of Beth Patterson before, but a good friend of mine told me to go with her to see Beth play at Byrne's Pub. She had heard about Beth through her boyfriend, who just ranted and raved about her. From the moment I walked into the bar, I knew something special was going to happen. I was so entertained by the music, I never went back to get a second drink. I just stood and watched one of the most uplifing shows I have seen in many a year. I can't wait until the next show! Come back to Columbus soon, I'll be there. ~ :) Larry Smith , Columbus, Ohio ~ 9/13/2004 9:40:02 AM

Just got home (ok, yesterday) from the Decatur, GA gig. Introduced a new fan. Good show, Beth. The guy who closed for you wasn't too bad, either, but he was way over-amplified. I heard him best by standing out in the hall! Looking forward to November, Bill Lead Stalker and Harmless Middle-Aged Fanboy Beth Patternson Fan Club Knoxville, TN ~ :) Bill McNutt , Knoxville, TN ~ 9/10/2004 12:41:37 PM

I know in my heart your dreams will come true Beth and Ron and team. say I love to try the drum that is a wonderful instrument . oh hope we get to jam next trip . love Pat and Michel Quebec City ~ :) Zeetche Patricia Ann , Quebec City ~ 8/31/2004 10:33:34 PM

Félicitations Beth pour cet excellent spectacle dehors à la fraicheur. J'ai beaucoup apprécié ta voix si belle et l'accompagnement par des musiciens de qualité. So inspiring and peaceful music, all in "hook up" attitude. Merci ~ :) alain alain , Québec ~ 8/8/2004 12:30:08 AM

Just had the wonderful opportunity to see Beth performing tonight in Quebec City (Fetes de la Nouvelle-France). It was a great show from a girl with so much heart ! I bought his last cd, which will allow me to bring back souvenirs of tonight show... Keep the good work Beth ! ~ :) Jean-Mark , Quebec ~ 8/5/2004 1:22:06 AM

Weezows! I know what I'm doing on August 29th! ~ :) Friend de la Sister , ~ 8/3/2004 11:45:21 PM

We happened to stop by last Monday night at O'Flaherty's where Beth was performing, and enjoyed the performance so much we enjoyed it so much, we went back the following evening. I requested the saddest (and most beautiful)song, and my wife requested the "beastiality" song, which is a lot of fun, but now can no longer visit the wallaby exhibit at the local zoo! The CDs are great, but Beth is so much better LIVE, with the wonderful personality. Incredible talent, and hope to see again!!! One of the highest points of New Orleans! ~ :) David Smith , Des Moines, IA ~ 8/2/2004 10:12:35 AM

I saw Beth for the first time last night. Amazing show, amazing playing and singing - I'm an instant fan. ...and she also looks like my ex-girlfriend from a few years ago. ~ :) Dave , Metairie, LA ~ 8/1/2004 2:23:45 PM

looking forward to seeing Beth at the Meridian in Houston for the Return of the Celtic Festival. Check out the website for more information. ww.meridianhouston.com ~ :) Gary , Houston ~ 8/1/2004 2:12:53 PM

I just saw Beth for the first time at Southport Hall.She Opened for Randy Jackson of Zebra.What a great show!I'm definiely going to be at her next performance. ~ :) Earl , Metairie,LA ~ 8/1/2004 4:04:24 AM

Missed Beth at O'Flaherty's this week while down in New Orleans. One of the best. Hope to see in DC. What happened to the Poor Clares?? Semper Fi ~ :) Dave Bethel , Washington DC ~ 7/21/2004 1:16:05 PM

Saw Beth for the first time last night (I was with the noisy pagan people) and I fell instantly in love. I must have been living under a rock not to have seen you before but I will make it a point to see you again. Fabulous!! Brilliant!! Gorgeous!! Girrrrl you ROCK!!! ~ :) Venus , New Orleans, LA ~ 7/14/2004 10:17:31 AM

And here's me thinking I'd stand out in such a loud crowd of admirers. My mates and I caught your show the day before St. Patty's at O'Flaherty's. To say we were blown away makes light of the nuclear blast, if ya catch the meanin'. My mate, Rob, grabbed a CD for me in exchange for a round of Guiness, and Beth kindly autographed it for me, even though I was a creepy guy in a new silly hat (which she complimented, by the by). Quick story of a "moment", if ye ken the meanin': Rob was getting the ale, my mate Josh was playin' darts, and I was sitting watching Beth play. Allofasudden (one word, that's how fast) I start hearing "The Lass of Aughrim" from that dulcet voice. To say my heart stopped for moment would not be medical fiction. She stole my breath, and ever since, I can still see that angel's face, eyes shut, spinning forth a melody so rapturous that I cried from the beauty of it. That's right, this man cried, and I not afraid to admit it, unless anyone I know reads this. So, thanks lass. And, by the by, my friends and I play a game with a dungeon-like atmosphere and a dragon-y theme, and we've made a permanent singer for our main tavern on a likeness of Beth. So, now you know you've got the nerd vote. Sorry if that creeps you out! Thank you from the crew at 313 in Stillwater. Cheers! ~ :) Aaron Scherzer , Stillwater, OK ~ 7/12/2004 7:32:34 AM

Saw Beth at O'Flaheretys New Orleans nightly July 14-18th along with her "boss". Great music! Purchased both her CDs and one by Jeffery Phillips. I am looking for the lyrics to her original titled "Steer by the Stars" They're not on the CD jacket. Help? ~ :) Kirk Melhuish , Atlanta, GA ~ 7/10/2004 1:29:21 PM

Twangopatterson last night was great. You rock. The best part of the night , aside from Cranston Clements' stand-up act , was you solo. You made me feel my inner homeland (Ireland) security. peace & music ~ :) Lex , new New Orleans ~ 7/9/2004 5:39:40 PM

Caught Beth at my favorite spot in NO, O'Flaherty's, on 1 July. "Immediately enthralled" is the phrase that comes to mind. I was there with my 9-year-old daughter, who was equally entertained, and that's saying a lot. Any performer who can play the bouzouki, sing like a dream, produce her own CD artwork, as well as incorporate Kansas, Beavis, Monty Python, Elmer Fudd ("kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit"), and a plethora (just like using that word) of other obscure but important paraphernalia, deserves our undying worship and devotion. Buy everything in her store!!! Or at the very least, buy her CDs. ~ :) David Robert Wooten , Little Rock, Arkansas ~ 7/3/2004 10:50:15 PM

Caught your show at O'Flaherty's last Tuesday. Absolutely fantastic. Also bought one of your CDs. My husband and I were hoping some of the naughty ballads were on it. Too bad. Your really need to put out a CD of the spicy stuff. We will be catching your show in DC next month. We will be requesting Mardi Gras; can't wait to hear your version without the pipe. ~ :) Bonnie Hayes , Gaithersburg MD ~ 7/3/2004 7:15:21 PM

Saw Beth at O'Flaherty's in New Orleans this past Monday evening (June 28). What a refreshing approach to Celtic music--mixed with the right amount of irreverance and a little Cajun spice. ~ :) Dave Cook , Charleston, WV ~ 6/30/2004 3:29:50 PM

Pure genius approach to Celtic music that combines the best of traditional with her own style that can't be matched. It is a pity that I make it to New Orleans every few years. Hopefully, Beth will make it to NoCal where I think she could get a huge following in the Bay Area. ~ :) Sean Conley , Santa Cruz, CA ~ 6/30/2004 1:29:29 AM

We've converted - we're Bethodists!! She was fun, funny, talented beyond measure, beautiful and nice!! A deadly combo! We absolutely loved seeing Beth and will seek her out again. To anyone reading this who has not seen Beth live - do yourself a favor. She was one of the best parts of a wonderful trip! ~ :) Barbara & Joseph , Long Beach, CA ~ 6/24/2004 9:50:24 PM

Captivating eyes and haunting music (or is it haunting eyes and captivating music? Either way it works...) We had a great time getting pulled into your world, and occasionally on stage as well. Can't wait for you to tour the Northwest! ~ :) Mike , Redmond, WA ~ 6/24/2004 7:13:24 PM

Your playing pulled me in off of Toulouse St not once but twice the other night. I must say you play a mean bouzouki and can really charm a room! ~ :) Mike , DC ~ 6/24/2004 2:08:46 PM

Hey you have a different site ~ :) Dave Chagle , Mandeville LA ~ 6/21/2004 10:22:20 PM

hi beth....jim here (cindy & giselle's friend in Birmingham)....caught your show at the Moonlight last weekend, and was duly impressed on many levels--shees, writing/vocals/musicianship/comedy/etc....andextremely personable to boot!! a rare and much-appreciated mix, from which i am thankfully no longer in the dark! ron was also extremely gracious in his willingness to talk 'tech', so please thank him for me....hope you'll return soon.... ~ :) jim hoffine , birmingham, al ~ 6/9/2004 1:00:54 AM

I was very impressed with your performance, Beth, last night. Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you afterwards. My girlfriend and her parents are talented Irish fiddlers and are very involved with the music community in Washington State (their specialty is Cape Breton, if you're familiar with or interested). If you ever take a trip there, you've got friends. They'd love to jam out. Email me about the tv opportunity. ~ :) Arthur , Lexington, Kentucky ~ 5/11/2004 1:24:49 PM

Just wanted to mention how much we enjoyed your performance at the Landing in Covington last weekend. Your friend playing the violin was also great and added a lot to your songs. We bought one of your CDs and have been enjoying it very much. ~ :) Mike and Carolyn Hays , Covington ~ 4/22/2004 9:41:30 AM

Hi Beth! Great show two nights in a row. My wife and I had the best time! I hope you can work "YYZ" into one of your shows;> I hope to see you out in California some time soon! ~ :) Mike Veatch , Riverside, CA ~ 4/8/2004 3:50:25 PM

Just saw you at the Burns Nicht in Cordova (Memphis). I was the short piper that kept looking at you as if I had just seen the Mona Lisa for the first time and "got it". I get the strange idea my cd collection should expect company. ~ :) David Corbett , Marion, AR ~ 1/25/2004 12:54:20 AM

Hi Beth! I heard you play last week at O"Flaherty's while consuming a couple pints. I really enjoyed your music and your sarcastic interaction with those fortunate enough to be in the room. I especially enjoyed your unique renditions of the "Rush" tunes, very creative. I purchased your CD and was looking forward to listening upon returning home, and went seaching immediately only to find it somehow did not make it....Fortunetly I was sober enough that night not only to make it back to my hotel, but also to remember your name! I searched the web and here you are. I now can re purchase your CD...I am so releived. I can sleep now. All The Best To You P.S. I was at the bar behind "the post"... we talked about that, didn't we? ~ :) Rick Salisbury , Mission Viejo California ~ 1/21/2004 1:48:28 AM

Yep, not disappointed at all. Great show. Enjoyed the weird al song. Hadn't heard that in years. Come to columbus again soon. My girlfriend thought you were the greatest thing ever. Wants to bring her dad to see you, strangely enough. ~ :) e hauter , columbus, oh ~ 1/20/2004 1:31:43 PM

Enjoyed seeing your performances twice in the last couple months when I was in New Orleans. Spoke with you during my last visit - asked when you are coming to Georgia. Mentioned a place in Decatur - but can't remember the name. Are you coming to GA? Can you give me the name of the place in Decature? I want to contact them to encourage them to bring you to GA. I will make sure we have a crowd of people there when you perform. Got both CD's - enjoy them both. ~ :) Jim , Dahlonega, GA ~ 7/10/2003 10:44:49 AM

Hey, Beth...typical "doubt you remember me" message: I was in O'Flaherty's last June (time flies)...you signed Hybrid Vigor for me.."To Ian..thanks for a great time!"; we also talked about your 'Wasted Years' cover as I am a guitar player...I still listen to the disc often, and look forward to catching you again.

Ok, I give. Other people are suggesting venues. Here are two that dearly need your magic. Should Chattanooga ever come into your orbit, Durty Nellie's has live music and a lively crowd. Tell me you're coming, and I'll bring folk from fifty miles about. Nashville, too has a venue appropriate. Mulligan's Pub. Forget the Grand Ole Oprey, Mulligans is the only venue worthy. Bill ~ :) Bill McNutt , Knoxville, TN ~ 5/31/2003 1:24:06 AM

Wow. Cool. A message board. Now what? Given no postings by Beth, I won't waste time telling her how great she is. After all, WE already know that. Once a year I drive from Knoxville, TN to 'Nawlins for, I confess, other reasons. But the whole schedule gets re-arranged once I find out when Beth is playing. God bless Danny for the Informer, and it's batter boards trod by the Enchantress. Every year the crowd I drag in there grows. I never have to encourage people to come listen. Bill ~ :) Bill McNutt , Knoxville, TN ~ 5/31/2003 1:20:34 AM

Hi Beth, I was at your show last Friday evening and just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. I bought a couple of your CD's and they are great. Best of luck and continued success and if you ever come to perform in San Diego please send me an e-mail to let me know. Cheers, Doug ~ :) Doug , San Diego ~ 5/30/2003 7:43:12 PM

Beth--many thanks for last night's performance @ O'Flaherty's. Especially for playing my two requests--Carrick Fergus and Sally Gardens--my late husband's two favorite songs. You brought back fond memories of him for me. (We often stopped off at O'Flaherty's after dinner). Good luck in your musical career as well as your personal life. CC ~ :) CC , Slidell, LA ~ 5/28/2003 4:20:09 PM

Dear Beth, Just found this website while drinking my coffee this am. Wow is all I can say. I knew some of the info but didn't know about your doing movie soundtracks. I guess I need to fuss at your Mom for not keeping me up to date. WHEN are you coming to Hawaii?? We are fine - enjoying being back on Oahu with more to do and getting to see more of kids and grandkids. We will celebrate our 5oth this summer when Allison is here although the date isn't until Dec. We are very, very proud of you and love you Aloha, the Hawaii cousins - Carol and Doug too ~ :) Cousin Carol , 69-5680 Kapolie Pkwy. #3J6 Ewa Beach, HI 96706 ~ 5/15/2003 5:46:17 PM

Hi Beth, I doubt you remeber me but I was the doctor who you discussed the origins of "Take Some Fire" with in October. I'm glad to see that you are apparently keeping busy. I keep looking for you to come West but I know the tours can be difficult without a good crowd. Here is a good contact if you ever consider Phoenix: "George O'Brien" . Also, here is the website for the Barking Spider in Cleveland, OH that we talked about: http://www.barkingspidertavern.com. By the way, they do have t-shirts like you talked about. I would love it if you could contact me as I would like to purchase a signed "Take Some Fire" from you as well another copy of "Hybrid Vigor" as I want to send a copy of each to my brother in law. (Actually, I already sent him my copy of "Hybrid Vigor" but kept the signed part for myself). Hopefully, you will meet my brother sometime as I continually pester him to go and see one of your Monday/Tuesday shows. Keep up the good work. You are one of my favorite performers and I think you give one of the best and most personable shows I have attended. Best Wishes, Kent ~ :) Kent S. Davis , Phoenix, AZ ~ 4/28/2003 1:48:58 PM

Beth- My friends and I were lucky enough to see you perform at O’Flaherty’s on Feb 18th while we were in New Orleans on vacation. It was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Your combination of great music, intelligent wit and comedy didn't fall on deaf ears. I loved your rendition of 'Wasted Years'. I listened to your cd's on my long drive back to Tennessee Saturday and enjoyed both of them thoroughly. If your ever in the area i'll definitely try to make it to your show. ~ :) Randall Smith , Kingsport, TN ~ 2/24/2003 5:50:40 AM

Beth, your music is wonderful. I believe you have a beautiful voice and if you keep it up, you'll gain much more well deserved notoriety. I enjoy coming all the way from slidell to hear you play even though I have to go to work in the mornings. I look forward to hearing you play again. ~ :) Buz , Slidell, la ~ 2/17/2003 3:44:02 PM

Oh, I almost forgot. You might want to check out Jammin' Java (www.jamminjava.com). It's a local coffe shop/recording studio/club and would be a great place for you to play if you wanted another gig in the DC area. Recent out-of-town shows have included Sarah Lee Guthrie and The Paperboys, and Karan Casey is playing there next week (for my birthday, but she doesn't know that). ~ :) Kent Murray , Reston, VA ~ 2/10/2003 11:10:08 PM

Beth - Thanks for terrific show this past Sunday at the Old Brogue (my wife and I were the couple sitting right in front of you). I haven't had a chance to see you since I was in New Orleans two years ago, but I've been enjoying your new CD and was glad you played some songs from it.. Please come back soon (the second weekend in June is always good). ~ :) Kent , Reston, VA ~ 2/10/2003 11:06:21 PM

Argh, when are you gonna do a show in San Franciso?! Hehe The last time I was missing New Orleans, it was atmosphere alone..now I am missing being able to listen to you play and be silly! Thank God I got your CDs before I left - it is all I play in my car now (I just wish it had the Celene Dion song or the Widow and the Devil hehe) Best of luck to you always! ~ :) Jennifer , Alameda, CA ~ 2/3/2003 11:03:58 PM

Talofa Beth! Yes, a CD of yours is in American Samoa. No wait, two are here! With only two radio stations and one TV channel CDs are the way to go. I have an hour commute to work each way at speeds of 25 mph. If it wasn't for the vast blue ocean and music I would be subject to road rage. Keep on playing!

I love your music! Its sheer power reflects a very deep, intelligent, emotional, and passionate musician with an amazingly surreal yet sublime outlook on life's pains and pleasures. Words cannot describe how much I appreciate your music. I try to catch you at O'Flaherty's every chance I get. Your creativity is astounding, and I admire you and your work greatly.

That was a great show at B&B last Friday. I thought I'd buy your CD and go downstairs to drum in the circle; but I couldn't tear myself away from the great music. You asked at one point whether you could get the drummers upstairs (out of the basement); we were already there but we left our drums elsewhere. Dang! That was my boy who asked you to tell blonde jokes. I like your new CD; "Take Some Fire" is really good; "Nemesis" gets my attention every time. good band! ~Bradley (y'all come now, ye'hear?) ~ :) Bradley Ellis , Dallas, TX USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:33:12 AM

So glad the new CD is finally out---been waiting sooooooo long! Hope to catch up with you at THE PUB on TooLoose Street real soon! ~ :) esther sanchez , no, la USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:32:44 AM

Congratulations, Beth. Could this be the little girl with green hair we knew and loved??? When are you coming to Hawaii?? Much Aloha ~ :) Carol Cheape , USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:31:43 AM

Wow! This strange guy in dressed in black, and sporting the name Dr. Evil, hand delivered your new CD yesterday. Awesome sounds are now emanating from the damnable electronic device across the room, making me wish I was sitting in a club listening to the live version. Congratulations on your new cd! Wish I had made it to Monroe over the weekend. ~ :) Marty Erwin , Conway, Ar USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:31:19 AM

I just received my copy of "Take Some Fire" from the UPS driver, and am listening to it right now. Great work!! Beth is really in form on this disc, and the band sounds great too! ~ :) Neil McFadden , Gaithersburg, MD USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:30:47 AM

Got the new CD "Take Some Fire" and it is excellent. Now if only local radio would play it. Will have to catch you at O'Flaherty's one of these days. ~ :) Mark M. , Reserve, La. USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:30:07 AM

Saw Beth's show on Tuesday, April 30th at O'Flaherty's Irish Pub in New Orleans. We liked it so much we wandered into the gift shop and picked up (what we now know was her first CD). Liked that one so much, I bought her new release off the internet. Can't wait to get it in the mail. Loved your sense of humor, and loved your music. Would love to see you come to Chicago! Any chance?! Keep up the good work! ~ :) Kim and Paul Galvin , Villa Park, IL USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:28:28 AM

Theres a pretty big buzz going on here about your upcoming show already...the Emerald Mist is ready to take some fire...bring it on beth!! ~ :) Tim H. , Allen, TX USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:27:26 AM

YIPPEEEEE! Darrin & I can't wait to get our hands on a copy (or two) of "Take Some Fire". See ya soon! -- ~ :) T&D , Treehouse TX USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:26:50 AM

Great show Tuesday night! Way to keep it real with the Rush numbers! Beth Patterson is the best bouzouki player in the country. And Germany loves you! By the way do you tune your bouzouki by playing chords from "Discovery (2112)"? Everyone loves Germany! ~ :) Nick , New Orleans, LA USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:23:10 AM

I enjoy Beth Patterson's music. Please put my name on any e-mail lists for concert notices or cd releases. Also is there anyplace in Memphis where I can buy the new cd. ~ :) Dan Johnson , ldjnewname@aol.com ~ 8/14/2002 10:22:36 AM

Hey Beth and Ron, it's the bass player from Bull's Corner. I really enjoyed meeting and talking to you guys and maybe I'll see you soon at one of Beth's gigs. Thanks for all the advice. P.S. Beth, the name of the old bass player from tool is Paul D'Amour. ~ :) Jared Ronan , Laplace , LA USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:21:28 AM

I look forward to seeing Beth at Starting over. Blessings, ~ :) Allen Jolley , MS United States ~ 8/14/2002 10:20:55 AM

We heard Beth at O'Flaherty's Irish Channel Pub last October just before Holloween, and we really enjoyed hearing her music. She should tour Albuquerque because there is a strong celtic community and we try to support celtic music. ~ :) Don Lacen , Albuquerque, NM USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:17:36 AM

Greetings, hope your weekend was the best ever. Stumbled across your website and just -- on impulse -- thought I'd sign your guestbook. Have a great day. ~ :) Catherine Lake , Los Angeles, CA USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:17:09 AM

Beth's show last month at the emerald mist was such a good time...Her enchanting music combined with her great sense of humor made for alot of fun...not to mention the lack of barrier that exists between musician and music lover really creates a casual open atmosphere which just adds to the overall enjoyment of her show...cant wait till the next time,and that new album! ~ :) Tim Hughes , Allen, TX USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:12:28 AM

Dear Beth and Ron, You brought me Joy! My husband Charles and I (the lady the likes to decorate houses) enjoyed meeting you both at Alan Petro's house this past Saturday. Have you ever crossed paths with someone and just knew instinctively that you should be the catalyst to connect that person with another individual? Jim is a geologist who lives downstairs from us on Marengo Street and plays the electrict accordian? (I think) he gave me one of his CD's for Christmas and it was really good. Would love to invite you and Ron to our next party. I wish you well. Best Regards Bonnie and Charles ~ :) Bonnie Riouff , New Orleans, LA USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:10:12 AM

I feel so spoiled! Thanks for the great show you did on 12th Night at the Petro's! I'll see you at O'Flaherty's. I look forward to hearing about which pubs to visit in Ireland. Thanks! ~ :) Ellen Mae , New Orleans, LA USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:09:40 AM

We are desperately waiting for Beth's new CD, and for news of a show (or two) in our area (MD / Wash). Maybe at Mrs. O'Leary's...? ~ :) Neil McFadden , Gaithersburg, MD USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:09:13 AM

I'm really sorry that we missed your show at the Emerald Mist in Richardson. My wife and I heard you play at O'Flaherty's in New Orleans before the Celtic Cruise 2000. As you requested We told the Blarney Brothers and Maggie Drennan than you sent your best. I heard Matt Williams from the Blarney Brothers sat in with you a little while you were here. I do hope you come back soon. We really enjoyed you in New Orleans. ~ :) Billy , McKinney, Tx USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:08:46 AM

Caught your show in O'Flaherty's 12/11. It was great, small group which made it even better. Let me know if you get back to Mobile or Pensacola, FL. I really love your music. ~ :) Lee Bain , Brewton, AL USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:08:13 AM

When are you coming to see us?!? ~ :) Tricia , Houston, TX USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:07:23 AM

Dig your music! You need to come to Dallas! ~ :) Scott Phillips , Dallas, tx USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:06:45 AM

My family and I first saw Beth Patterson on my birthday, (going to O'Flaherty's was my present)April 19th last year. We all were mesmerized. Thank you, Beth, for a fine and lasting treat. ~ :) Jean McLain , New Orleans, LA ~ 8/14/2002 10:06:17 AM

i've seen you twice there in new orleans and im quite impressed. my copy of hybrid vigor spins around alot here in new jersry, how that new disc coming along. you did a song about a pontchartrain girl (great song) is that out there on a disc somewhere. And do you and your bouzouki plan on touring the new york /philly area. (crossing fingers) :) ~ :) Larry Brown , pittsgrove, nj ~ 8/14/2002 10:05:45 AM

USA - Sunday, October 07, 2001 at 10:03:16 (PDT)Beth Patterson is a goddess and should be worshipped as such!!! She explodes with virtuosity and a simultaneously raw and refined beauty. A polished diamond with pieses that are in the rough to keep her going with new and innovative sounds. I have only had the oppurtunity of meeting her and seeing her play once. But at times I am compelled to drive for days to catch another show of hers. ~ :) Greg Brostoski , Kansa City, MO ~ 8/14/2002 10:03:36 AM

I happened to catch Beth's show at O'Flaherty's on 7/24 and was blown away. As I said that night, I would have liked to stay and listen all night but I had to work the next morning. Let's get that next CD out. Your musical clock is ticking. ~ :) Jim Gallagher , Fayetteville, AR ~ 8/14/2002 10:02:51 AM

Caught your show saturday night at O'Rourke's in Mobile, Ala. Great show and such great talent. Looking forward to making the pilgramige to N.O. to catch the show again. Can't wait 'til you come back this way again. Another loyal addicted fan. Can't wait for Sept. 15th.!!! ~ :) Paul , Mobile, Ala USA ~ 8/14/2002 10:02:18 AM

I, too, am basking in the afterglow of Johnstock and the subsequent listening and relistening of Hybrid Vigor (can one wear out a CD?) Maybe Johnstock II could become the "live" album... In any event, I anxiously await the release of your new CD. ~ :) Kevin Young , Royal Oak, MI USA ~ 8/14/2002 3:15:37 AM

I'm basking in the afterglow of Johnstock!!! Beth and Ron. You came to entertain us and you left as close friends. I can not describe how great it was to have Beth perform in our own living room. Beth made us laugh and she made us cry. I have already begun planning for "Johnstock II". ~ :) John Cordon , Plymouth, MI USA ~ 8/14/2002 3:15:03 AM

The overdose was better than I thought. We were transformed on June 2nd! Not the 1st. And it was an EXPERIENCE. Incidently, we lost several hours before and after the close encounter. ~ :) Jim and Mary Gaines , Brandon, MS USA ~ 8/14/2002 3:06:20 AM

We experienced Ms Patterson on Saturday, June 1, 2001. One doesn't just see or hear Beth. To come near her is to nearly OD!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we're addicted. When may we experiece her majic again? ~ :) Jim & Mary Gaines , Jackson, MS USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:56:17 AM

I know- I know- it's about time I checked out your web site. Looking good... ~ :) Jennifer Brown , New Orleans, LA USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:55:43 AM

Was on vacation in New Orleans French Quarter behind O Flaherty's on 5/15/01, where my sister tracked down the whereabouts of a band called Wicked Tinkers at about 3:00p.m., who were on tv in the morning wearing quilts and gathering information of the famous haunting in the courtyard connected to O Flaherty's. After the American Queen Steamboat cruize, we came back to the area on the evening of 5/22/01 and heard Beth Patterson playing. Mom, sister Mary Sue, and friend, Josh sat down to hear Beth play. We were all amazed of her musical gift on the bouzouki and solo singing of Irish Folklore with or without the bouzouki. As Josh would say, "Beth Rocks!" Beth, thanks for signing your CDs' for us. Much talent! Come to Cleveland, Ohio to play near or at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I am positive that they would love some New Orleans flair- musical musician calling them for some gigs. Good Luck on your musical pilgrimage. ~ :) Louise Diemer , Sheffield Lake, OH USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:55:11 AM

hey! my husband and I wondered into a irish pub in New Orleans one night and one of beth patterson's shows. It was the most fun we had in any of the bars in the town. We went back the next day to buy her CD. I just loved the atmosphere and the music--I felt like I was in Ireland. anyway, we'd love for her to come to Atlanta some time. there's a really popular Irish pub in Buckhead called Fadoe's (spelling might be wrong). I bet they'd love to have her! ~ :) Amanda Hill , Gainesville, GA USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:54:35 AM

Beth, great show April 30 at O'Flaherty's. I've seen you a couple of times before when I still lived in AL. You kick ass! and always exhibit extraordinary musicianship both vocal and instrumental. Thanks!!!!!!!!! from a sister southerner, I hope to see you again in the future. Think about touring up north! Would love to see your band. ~ :) Haley , Meriden, CT USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:51:47 AM

Rockit Studio is the bomb. For those reading, the sound quality is remarkable. Ron charges very reasonable prices for great sound and bad humor. Although, if you seek great sound AND great humor, you must go elsewhere. ~ :) Will Cullen IV , Mandeville, LA USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:51:18 AM

Great seeing you Beth. I am very glad you are doing so well. It was great meeting Ron also. I am glad you are both happy. I hope to see you again soon. ~ :) Derle Long , Monroe, LA USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:50:47 AM

Beth - Your performance last Saturday night at O'Rourke's Irish Pub in Mobile, Alabama was magical! I hope that O'Rourke's will be one of your regular stops in the future. Great music in a wonderful bar. Life just doesn't get much better. Hope to be seeing you perform again real soon. DAVID KEARNS, MOBILE ~ :) DAVID KEARNS , Mobile, AL USA ~ 8/14/2002 2:50:07 AM
