This poignant and compelling CD is a unique blend of Celtic and Eastern European sounds and rhythms, combining traditional and original compositions in fresh presentations. It features the warm resonance of Pat's vocals and LaPlant acoustic guitar, with cello and a subtle percussive thread woven by internationally known percussionist, Robin Adnan Anders...and introduces the distinctively beautiful violin artistry of Eli Bissonett.

The Long Goodbye is dedicated to Pat's father-in-law, Rocco Michael Passaretti, a victim of Alzheimer's disease. This CD supports integrative medical research on the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's.
