I wrote you, Beth, a while back b/c I had just gotten introduced to your music by a kindred spirited friend and was very excited about it. I then went to your show at Starland Cafe, I think this is the name of Bill's restaurant in DC, you know, writer of ~ Barbara M Byrd , West Virginia ~ 5/3/2008 9:01:29 PM

Beth, You are the ultimate Geddicorn!!! ~ Jay ONeal , Alexandria, LA ~ 4/28/2008 6:23:50 PM

Hey, missed you the last two times. Bill got a kick out being a roadie. Where's the new album I need some new running music. Kelly ~ Kelly McNutt , Knoxville TN ~ 4/18/2008 2:07:15 AM

Hi Beth, I interviewed you for the East County Live a few months ago and trying to get in touch with you. Please write me at my email: evm@infionline.net. Thanks! Ellen ~ Ellen Mahoney , CCTV54 ~ 4/17/2008 10:01:51 PM

Hey, Sorry I missed you and Ron after the show here. I really enjoyed seeing your show again. I'm trying to convince my Ron to have our honeymoon in NO so we can all party like rock stars!! ~ Janaci , Sioux Falls, SD ~ 4/7/2008 1:34:40 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

This is what happens when your friends go to see Beth, and you stay home with the baby..... http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenthies/2250138434/ ~ BdeB , Richmond, VA ~ 2/8/2008 12:40:29 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

Where can I find lyrics to some of your some/all of your songs. Look forward to seing you again live. ~ Kirk Melhuish , Chcago/Atlanta ~ 9/1/2007 2:49:20 PM

Beth - lovely picture Marion took of Kim, you and Kara at the Dublin Finale: http://flickr.com/photos/mjross/1061217552/ Also, I included mention of you in my write-up for the Celtic Tenors fanclub. Email me if you would like to see a copy. Mary ~ Mary Bertke , Columbus, OH ~ 8/11/2007 10:43:27 AM

You did a great job at the Dublin Irish Festival again this year. I'll be sure to catch you at Burnes Pub in September. ~ Terry , Columbus, Ohio ~ 8/7/2007 11:40:00 AM

Hey beth! Long time no see:) You sounding great! keep in touch, be great to play few tunes again tim ~ Tim Edey , Kent ~ 8/6/2007 2:05:20 PM

Great to discover your music ,espacially as I play zouk in my own fusion styles. What tuning /s do you use ? ( I play GDGD which seems unique) Regards & thanks for the inspiration God Bless ! Howie ~ Howie , Wales,UK ~ 7/26/2007 6:11:18 PM

Can't imagine why you would come to mind after listening to ~ James Quick , Uhhh.... ~ 7/23/2007 8:56:11 PM

Great show in Littleton on Sat! You Rocked! Hope you enjoyed the fruit basket, wasn't much, just thrown togother (-:. Hope to see you next year! -mark ~ Mark Whalen , Littleton ~ 7/20/2007 9:02:03 AM

I heard you for the first time at the Colorado Irish Festival '07 and I am hooked. You played a beautiful and captivating version of ~ Jeff Sirovatka , Denver, CO ~ 7/14/2007 10:44:54 PM

Please come to Asheville soon! I've been a fan for many years and try to catch your show whenever I am in NOLA. ~ Jill , Asheville NC ~ 7/6/2007 8:02:45 PM

Hi Beth. Wanted to thank you again for your wonderful performance during the week of 25Jun07 in New Orleans. Looking forward to hearing you again at the Colorado Irish Festival. In addition, my wife Sue and I would like to attend the house concert. Please advise re: method of payment and RSVP. B. ~ Bobby Gordon , Arlington, VA ~ 7/6/2007 2:44:02 PM

Beth It's been a long time since I last saw you! I'm still in Utah and yes, twice as popular as ever! Contact me soon and let me know how are you and Ron. Hope things are well. TIMMY!!! Your wild Irish Rover, Donna Gunn ~ Donna Gunn , Salt Lake City, Utah ~ 7/1/2007 11:36:47 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

Hi Beth: Your take on Carolan's Farewell is breathtaking! I hope it is in your book. I want to catch one of your Cleveland gigs-I want to give you my ~ Michael Hampsey , Warren PA ~ 1/24/2007 9:11:41 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

happy halloween!!!! ~ KELLIE , PHOENIX, AZ. ~ 10/18/2006 12:59:42 PM

Ron was swayin', Beth was shimmyin', and Tom was working the thumpstaff. Great performance at the Celtic Fest in Monroe last weekend. Still jammin' in my head. ~ Brent Boardman , Monroe ~ 10/9/2006 2:09:20 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

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.

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

I've enjoyed your sets at Fenian's Pub this year. Please come back and play and sing for us soon. ~ Charlie , Jackson, Mississippi ~ 7/20/2006 2:53:33 PM

Je m'ennuie de toi et de ton spectacle... j'espère te rovoir un jour aux fêtes de la Nouvelle-France à Québec... Salutations ! ~ Robert Clermont , St-Thomas, Québec ~ 7/17/2006 2:33:47 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

Beth, my wife & i are planning a trip to N.O. for the weekend sometimes this month. Is there a place to see you perform in n.o. thur.-sat nights,thank's craig e-mail me dates if you can ~ CRAIG BLANCHARD , JASPER,TX ~ 7/12/2006 4:50:25 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

Hey Beth my long time Algebra buddy... ~ Ed , Baton Rouge most recently ~ 6/6/2006 7:08:16 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, I can't wait for our Carrollton Station show on February 2nd. Thanks for giving us your Thursday. Let's play something together! Theresa ~ Theresa Andersson , NOLA dawlin' ~ 1/12/2006 2:58:00 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

I canna wait til Sat'day night!!! I'm so a looking ferward to seeing ya onct agen! I'll be thera with me bells on! Nudge nudge, wink wink. ~ Patti Thompson , Tupelo ~ 12/15/2005 11:45:32 PM

It's winter! Lets build a snowman! *snort* ~ Sister Friend , A galaxy far, far away ~ 12/14/2005 2:41:20 PM

Heard your back at the two tone this weekend. you are so worth a road trip! ~ Christine , St Louis MO ~ 12/13/2005 1:36:56 PM

Danny's closed his doors forever. O'Flagherty's is no more. Wah. :( Bill ~ Bill McNutt , East Tennessee ~ 12/12/2005 5:43:21 PM

Just checked the tour dates, back in Tupelo on the 17th.. Great.. ohh, crap, I'm on call for work.. drat the luck. ~ David Corbett , Memphis area ~ 12/6/2005 10:36:26 AM

Beth I saw you in New Orleans last year and I am glad to see that your still playing after this terrible tragedy! Glad to see your making your way up to the "Great White North", in Winter no less, see you in Ann Arbor..... Tom ~ Thomas Gennety , Detroit mi ~ 11/29/2005 4:05:39 PM

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

Hi, Beth! Who's Ron? When are you coming to Montana? Keep me posted. ~ Sr. P. (alias Grainne) , Montana ~ 11/12/2005 11:19:19 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. Take care of yourselves, and if you need a stop-off place in your wanderings, there's one waiting in East Tennessee. Love, Joseph ~ Joseph Sobol , Jonesborough, TN ~ 9/3/2005 3:49:20 PM

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

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

We enjoyed your performance at O'Flaherty's Irish Pub in New Orleans last month and your CD-hybrid vigor since our return home.

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

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

You have entered the Twilight Zone. Mass hysteria-there is a black hole of email. Just like socks in the washing machine. Coinsidence? I think not. ~ Janacivis , SoDak ~ 5/10/2005 12:39:42 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

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.

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.

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
