14Dec2020 3:04 AM (84 days 5 hours ago)Hi! Really want to say how much I’ve enjoyed the music over
the years! Grew up in Winnipeg, introduced to the JBC by
Brave New Waves, on the CBC radio. Saw you in concert in
88 or 89 when you came through on tour. Constantly
somewhere on my playlists. My kids sing along to the songs
as well! Thanks for being a meaningful part of my musical life! -

22Sep2020 9:14 PM (166 days 12 hours ago)Just cranked, very loudly, the Glass/Cartel vinyl 45 of Groovin in the bus lane and Hard on my insane audiophile system here in Brentwood (Los Angeles)CA. I was strutting around my house like a rooster in heat.
I have been listening to the Butcher since about '83. Saw them Many times on any tour that came within 1000 miles of me. Last show was Mercury Lounge NYC I think in early 2000s. Met Pat on several occasions. An honor.
It's hard to overstate the joy that your (and Max's) music has brought, and still brings to me over almost 40 years later. I have almost all of the original vinyl. I won't listen on CD. Just isn't the same.
Your songwriting craft and wit put you among the best in the rock and roll tradition. IMHO.
Thanks Pat. For the gift of your genius. -
Sun Is Still Sunny

16Aug2020 6:37 PM (203 days 14 hours ago)Just listened to Sun Is Still Sunny. Damn. Great cover choice. You can still kick me hard in the feelings when you want to Fishy! Tasty stuff.
By the way, I'm still holding you to that promise of a set of those rare tunes that I need in cd quality. I bought and devoured the two box sets (Violent and Wasted years) - loved to hear those wonderful songs again - and the liner notes brought a smile and a tear! But I need many of your lesser known gems available in high quality sound!
Thanks for all the gifts over the years. I still listen to your music often and it is a touchstone and comfort in time like these! Good heath and happiness to you sir! My wallet will always be willing to part with its contents whenever you have more beautiful tunes. to offer!
