All songs recorded on 4-track tape, except for "Free Again" and 'Man in the Mirror"
which were recorded on a Zoom H2 hand-held digital recorder.  The
CDs
that most of the songs are drawn from are available for free from
PapaPatty.  They are: (1) BLUES FOR PATTY, VOLUME I; (2)
PARANORMAL POP (BLUES FOR PATTY, VOLUME II);

(3) REVERBERATIONS (BLUES FOR PATTY, VOLUME III).

"Sorcery" is a song written for the jazz group Gateway by their drummer Jack DeJohnette.  It is on my third demo called REVERBERATIONS.

"Blue
Memorial" is a PapaPatty composition, a special tribute to Patty. 
It is also the only recent song that I play any guitar on, just some
acoustic rhythm.  Doctor Satan added some of the special effects
on the breakdown in the middle of the song.  This song is on my
third demo, REVERBERATIONS.

"Outback
Jump" is a PapaPatty song included on BLUES FOR PATTY VOLUME I. 
It was the first song PapaPatty ever recorded, in March 2008.

"Devil's Dirt" is based on an old Bulgarian folksong called "Come to Dinner Tonight Rada," which was recorded by saxophonist Dave Liebman's group OPEN SKY.  My version appears on the demo REVERBERATIONS.

"Free Again" is a jam off of an old Gene Ammons tune, with PapaPatty on
saxophone and Uncle Patty (Chuck Burkett) on drums.  It is included on a
rough demo entitled MR. MAGOO'S BLUES, which we recorded in December
2008 in Ecorse, Michigan.

"MollyB"
is about PapaPatty's daughter Molly, shown in the picture.  It is
also Molly's favorite song from PARANORMAL POP, which for her might
mean PARANORMAL DAD.

"Breezy Nights" was written by Patty in 2002 or 2003, and
posted on his Geocities website.  Patty played guitar and keyboard
and set up the electronic drum loop.  (The original version is on
the Patty Music myspace site if you want to hear it.)  Here I have
added a saxophone with delay, wah wah, and distortion effects to fill
in some leads.  This was the first of Patty's songs that I learned
to play after picking up the saxophone in September 2006.  It is included on my latest demo-CD, REVERBERATIONS.



"Night Trip" is a PapaPatty song from BLUES FOR PATTY, VOLUME I. 
It concerns a road trip from Miami to Detroit that took place back in
1984.

"Five Mile High" depicts musically the euphoria one feels after a good
five-mile run.  It is a PapaPatty composition included on
PARANORMAL POP.

"Stigmata Strut" is another original number from the new demo REVERBERATIONS.  It has PapaPatty doing a little synth bass riff and electronic congas to accompany the alto recorder - an instrument that PapaPatty has messed around with since the mid-1970s.  The title of the song may or may not have religious connotations.  Suit yerselves.

Except for the cases where photographs are used, the illustrations
accompanying the songs were all done by PapaPatty, with digital
conversions and enhancements by Zann Carter.  Expandable and
downloadable versions of the illustrations are included on this site in
the photo albums "Blues for Patty Volume I," "Paranormal Pop," and
"Reverberations."
