A Little Bit About Patrick Ginnaty

I was born on Halloween, in Stillwater, Minnesota (a Scorpio). My mother was an artist, and my father was also very artistic, so it seemed natural that I was brought up expecting to be an artist. Music was a natural part of my young life-the radio was exciting back then. But, I never connected what I was hearing with my first guitar, a Mickey Mouse guitar. Music was just there, then gone... magic.

Some time later, after my parents had died, I heard Eric Clapton. WBZ, in Boston, played "Disraeli Gears" the first night that it was released, all the way through. The TONE captured me, like "sirens sweetly singing..." I got my first "real" guitar (an Epiphone) and found someone to help me start to learn. In my high school yearbook my senior year, under "aspirations," I said that I wanted to be a "wandering minstral"... as a joke, kind of...?

Many years later, here I am... a new age rock 'n' roll wandering minstral, pied piper of the electric guitar.

Take what I offer you on whatever level you choose... as an avid student of life, I draw from many levels as I express myself.

I'm on a quest... come listen, if you will, and I'll tell you my story...
