I remember saying one night to my ex-wife:"Mind if I put on some music?" "Go ahead." "Anything in particular?" I asked. "Anything but Patrick Sky." Should have known then that the marriage wasn't going to work.

It's been said his voice didn't record all that well, but he was truly a great singer, especially in live performance, enhanced by his masterful honky tonk style guitar fretwork, making Dave Van Ronk, his mentor, proud, as evidenced in Sky's version of Saint Louis Tickle. Saw him in concert several times, a consummate entertainer, corny jokes and all.

Love Pat Sky! He was super nice, super funny, and very approachable. Once in the back of the Foghorn, a small club in Baltimore back in 1966 or 1867 after his first album came out, I asked him after the show how he got that twangy sound out of the strings, and he showed me the long nails on his right hand, which he said he used instead of fingerpicks, and that's how he got it. That night he was using a vintage blonde Gibson J-200 also, and of course that had an incredible tone to it as well, so the combination of that and his articulate technique was what did it. But what I was wondering, did anyone see him around that i tme doing some very funny song about getting drunk? I think it was in 'G' and it was never on any album, but I heard him do it both times I saw him there. All I remember about it, other than it was fairly short, was that there was this little instrumental lick about four measures long played up around the 5th fret that he'd stick in between each verse. Does anyone remember this song? He also used to do a funny song W.C. Fields did from an old movie about a girl from the Salvation Army that broke her tambourine or something. Started out, "There once was a young man, who left his country home and went to the city seeking employment" and in the movie Fields is seen playing this song with a big fur coat and mittens on - think he might've been playing it on a ukelele. But I've been looking for recorded versions of those two songs for years and was hoping someone might remember them or better yet, have recorded them at an old concert. Pat, if you're ever reading this, hope you can one day put them on a new album along with all the other great stuff we used to see live that was never recorded in kind of a "The Great Not-Too-Late Lost Pat Sky Album" or something along those lines. Please make this happen! You know, you can postpone the inevitable, but you can't prevent it! (Duh...) In other words, I hope it is fated to be. OK, I planted the seed, so Pat, take that water over the dam and make that seed grow into a giant Sequoia of an album!

I believe that Pat, like Dave Van Ronk, played a jumbo blonde Guild 50 Navarre, not a Gibson J 200.....

Anyone know the original history of this song? I remember a version of it from the 1970's, but I bet it has been around far longer.

still hoping to hear the W.C. Fields song and the one about getting drunk...about to change my name to Alan Lomax and come down there and convince you to let me record them on my portable cassette player! Please - - don't let these songs be lost to obscurity...
