So,I was a punk rocker In the 70sā¦ and my brother slipped me a pmg record. I was blown away. The man is so amazing. I drove up, alone , to Boston to see him. Bought the cheapest seats I could afford and , surprisingly, the band had to walk past my shite seat to the stage. I braved my introvert nature and said high to pat. He was so nice. He stopped and chatted to me for a second or two. He still looks the sameā¦. Fountain of youth!

Gary Burton and Pat Metheny helped me open my Honda Car in 1973 in Portland OR at a Summer Jazz Clinic. I was playing lead trumpet in one of the top 3 big bands they put together at University of Portland,. Pat had just been at U of Miami. What a time. Later met Pat though a midi trumpet I co-invented back in the 80's. At great time to be alive!

I saw PMG during their "Secret Story" tour and it was one of the greatest displays of musicianship I have ever seen and if I remember correctly his PARENTS were in the audience rofl. It changed the way I listened and appreciated music and inspired me to start my own journey as a player. ā„ Pat Matheny.

I was into rock at 15 in 1980 or so and bought my first electric guitar and the salesman threw in a Guitar Player magazine with an article on Pat. Just from reading about his approach to music I bought New Chautauqua and have never turned back. I am almost 60 now and have seen him live around 10 times. Once in Tempe Arizona in 1988 or so his sound system was malfunctioning and while it was being fixed, Pat came and sat on the edge of the stage for anyone who wanted to come and meet him. I have my autographed ticket stub in the Still Life Talking album cover. Great guy.

I'd love to see you interview "Thijs van Leer" of Dutch Prog Rock band "Focus". He is such an incredible composer, and multi-instrumental musician (vocals, keys, flute, whistling (!)). As a youngster (I'm only 32 years old), my older cousin gave me glimpses of '70s Prock Rock music that I think helped me appreciate the music that I do today, which includes Focus, the first 4 Phil Collins era Genesis records (sorry Peter Gabriel fans), Yes, Jethro Tull, newer bands like Dream Theatre, Symphony X, Frost* etc....

Thank you so much Rick and Pat for this chat. I absolutely adored the Pat Metheny Group back in the 70's / 80's. They formed the soundtrack for my entire life and for that I am eternally grateful. I ended up playing keyboards as my main personal artistic endeavor, inspired entirely by Lyle Mays (may his musical grace, fill the Cosmos). To this day, the haunting pads, incredible solos and musicianship, the interplay, the inspiration, the virtuosity inspires the deepest parts of my soul. Thank you so much!

For me, the real secret behind the success of PMG was they always did things their way, took risks, constantly reinvented themselves and weren't afraid of trying out new ideas. They refused to be boxed in in one genre as they always dabbled in a variety of styles to keep their music fresh but still retained their musical identity so you knew straight away it was them
