Discography
Impromptu (2007) Ten solo piano compositions telling ten stories without words. Many of these are improvisations that were recorded on a whim over the last few years. Others were created just for this collection. From intimate melodies to joyous dances, there is something here for everyone.
Horizon (1998) Neil Patton's premier CD. Ranging in sound from piano pop to prog rock to intimate ballads, this collection has touched the lives of many people regardless of age or religious background. Many songs here were inspired by the life and death of one of Neil's musical and spiritual mentors. Real music for real life.
How was church today? And do you ever do concerts? Always down in Eugene or do you take yourself outta Dodge sometimes?
Would LOVE to see and hear you play again... and also visit with you and yours. How is the fam.? I'm worried a bit...
PS You ever e-pinch me again and I'm gonna cry like a baby. Naw, that was perfect timing for our friend. I wish that chickie was my sis. She is sooooo funny. Her Mother thinks we are absolutely nuts. That's not true, right? I'm perfectly "normal". Yep. :)
It's the Mike Rowe stand off. But I think I got her on this one. It's a first. She usually beats me hands down. I love your music by the way. Sorry I never got back with you. My bad. Shame shame. Do you sing also?
Please could you give her a little more than an ear flick for me? hehe

Hi Neil, How are things going? I bet you are busy with summer over there and doing performances. I am busy as always. Enrico's CD will be out I think next week. You can see his covers in his pic section. The CD is beautiful. I am very pleased with what he did with my piece. The song is 6th on his CD. I hope you get to hear it. We are also working on new pieces, too. Enrico is a great guy and wonderful talent. God bless, Cindy
You're scarin' ME now, with all this "Manny and Guido" talk. Oh and wussy is spelled "whoosy", at least in MY uninformed brain. LOL

Mister Mister... I PROMISE, I haven't forgotten, BUT I tell ya, Dude... I saw what you wrote about me on Miss Gail's page. Ooooh yeah, you're in trouble. I don't know who to tell, but but but... aaaaw well, it's true anyway. I kinda am scary. Multnomah will do that to a person's intellectual side. :)
