Original Music

I have lots of other interests and absolutely no time to pursue them. The little bit of free time I've had has been dedicated to making lures and developing Manistee Bait Company. After years of not playing guitar I've got the itch to play and make up my own songs again. I'm more than a little rusty and still can't find the time to practice. When I had stopped playing I was trying to record my own stuff with rudimentary techniques and poor equipment, basically a couple of boom boxes and a michrophone. Lately I've acquired a digital 4-track recorder and have learned how to get homemade recording onto the computer (somethings I had been wanting to do for a long time). Following are a couple of snippets they are very rough and of course I haven't had the time to polish them up but they get the idea across. They may take a long time to download if you have a phone modem connection.

"Gone Lead" a snippet of clean lead from "Gone" by Bob Patulski and Len Kurtz

"SALMON FEVER" a snippet stolen and remixed from Mike Renehans Ironed Out

"LOW DOWN AND MEAN" lead Bob Patulski Lead Guitar Len Kurtz Harmonica and Guitar

"RIDIN THE RIVER" Bob Patulski

Playing With The "LIVE BAIT" Band

I've had the pleasure of being asked to jam with the "Live Bait" band at several bar gigs over the past few years. What a blast...Thanks guys! Below is one of their flyers.

Painting

I used to really enjoy painting and if I had the time I would take it up again. Here are a couple of things I happen to have digital photos of.
