stinky

My name is Patrick but my friends call me 'stinky'...thats a long story.... anyway..... I'm a single parent of two great kids. Patrick is 12 and lives with me in Visalia. Calla is 15 and lives with her mom. I am basically the kind of person who lives in the moment and doesn't keep score. I don't give a crap about status or seeking out material gain that so many people seem to be preoccupied scratching and clawing for. I'm just a simple guy trying to live an uncomplicated life. I love music and playing guitar is my passion.I play in an Irish folk band called The High Grade Pats featuring The Gratuitous Laddies. It's a great experience playing this music. I grew up listening to my dad and uncles play and sing a lot of the same tunes.I also play with a local Visalia band called Deep Fryd. We play original tunes and some eclectic covers.I just started another band with my brother called Tule Devils. This one is a funky, big ass guitar monster! It's kind of a blues and southern boogie band.I work for a software company as an Application Analyst. It's a great job and gives me plenty of time to pursue the true joys in my life; my son and music.
