notes
Hi,
Thanks for stopping at the CDbaby site for my new CD "Love Is In The Air"! Music is the universal language. I've traveled all over the world and the one thing that's always been true is the unifying and healing power of music. Lord knows we need that these days more than ever. My love of singing, song and silliness began early. Thanks to my family I fondly remember sitting on laps listening to the likes of the artists represented here and music from big bands to the Beatles as well as comedy performers like Johnny Carson and Bill Cosby.
The songs on the CD are all close to my heart. The song "Witchcraft" was the song my Irish Fire Fighter Father used to get my Mom to marry him. I've played "Feelin Alright" by Dave Mason in every band I've ever been in. Harry Chapin's "Taxi" also tells the story of how I first came to California only to run into my old girl friend from the east. "Mack the Knife" is the song that I've usually closed my cruise ship performances with. Into the Mystic by Van 'the man' Morrison was the first song I ever sang with a horn section.
There's no way I can thank the many people who have helped me along the way but I have really appreciated your support, encouragement and laughter. My wife Sharon should share co-Producer credit as without her advice and encouragement...
As a Cabaret and Cruise Ship performer, Open Mic devotee, saloon singer singing the blues... over the years I've truly enjoyed entertaining people. I love songs that tell a story and ones that speak to me. Frank was right... 'the lyric's the thing' .
I hope you enjoy this CD. They say that once in a lifetime a beautiful song comes along...
until that time... I hope you enjoy these!
;- )
All The Best,
Tom Patrick

"The human voice is the most important instrument at our disposal, yet it is one of the most difficult to understand or define. You either hear it, or you don't. It either moves you, or it leaves you cold...it is more than just a sound...it's the soul itself." -Neil Diamond

CD is good but TP LIVE is even better!
author: Roni and KieoniLove the CD we purchased at your show in Waikiki! But your live show at Coconut Willy's was great and we had a blast. Thanks and if you ever play in Florida again please look us up in Ft. Launderdale at 'Red's' on the ICW. Aloha! Roni and Kieoni March 2006
tom's the bomb...great cd
great music and style It's a great time!!
Great first effort
author: Frank HarbliGood first effort but I found some of the songs a little two close to the arrangment of the original artists version. I look forward to also purchasing his next album which I hope will have more of Tom's own style. More Neil Diamond and Sinatra please!
Patrick's 1st CD shows singer has great promise
author: R. Lindquist, Reviewer"Cruise ship and Cabaret performer Tom Patrick's CD 'Love is in the Air' is an eclectic collection of well done standards from the last 50 years. One of this singer's passions is to ensure that songs from the 'great American songbook' survive and with efforts like this it will. Patrick shows great promise!" R.A.Lindquist DISCoveries Column June 2002 Singer Magazine

Tom Patrick Does it Again with new CD!
author: Marc HargravesTom Patrick does it again! Amazing talent that will now live on for all to enjoy. You will not want to miss this. I listened to it twice yesterday and was really impressed. There are so many good tracks that it's hard to choose a favorite. If I had to I suppose I would go with 'Taxi" and 'If You Could Read My Mind'. The critics are all in agreement, this is one great CD!
music is super and he has a good voice
author: Julie & KdVery well done. We listened to the tracks and thought you did a great job. The music is super and you have a good voice. We could see you singing with people dancing on a cruise ship or in a lounge. Good luck with pursuing your dream! Hugs, Julie and Kath
You've made excellent choices to showcase your singing
author: RoxannGood job! Frank also said he got very lucky with some very good songs. You've made excellent choices to showcase your singing. Of course it helps that (for me) you picked a song by a man that has no equal - Van Morrison. Guess I'm a bit biased! Roxann
