About me:
I have gradually become known throughout the northeast for my smooth renditions of traditional swing tunes in tempos specifically suited for dancing.
As a vital part of the Capital District dance community, I was a long-time co-director of the celebrated Dance Flurry Festival and, together with Teresa Broadwell, coordinated the DanceFlurry Organization’s monthly swing dance events for sixteen years. I have been an official consultant of all that is danceable at Falcon Ridge Festival in Hillsdale since it began presenting dance events. As a swing dance afficionado, my expertise on "music that motivates people to dance" enabled me to put together a variety of material on my CD, "Swing It!", that defies the listener not to dance or at the very least begin the toe-tapping exercise. It includes a collection of vintage swing dance tunes arranged for the most discriminating dancers and listeners. The assembly of noted guest musicians appearing on "Swing It!" not only contributes to a distinctive and extraordinary recording, but is a testimony to the respect I have earned among my peers. I will soon be working on a new album featuring a trio, a quartet and my six-piece swing band, Patti-O and the Hip Hooligans.
Besides singing for dances, I've taught dancing for a number of years, usually as a follower, explaining the things a follower needs to watch for from her/his partner. I love to dance and can follow almost anyone, but don't ask me to lead unless it's a waltz or a contradance.
