    I remember my dad took me to a smithereens concert when I was 7/8, the first concert I’ve been to. Around the end of the concert, the guitarist came up to me and let me strum his guitar and gave me his pick. I don’t know much about the smithereens, but that was the most treasured memory of my childhood.

    WOW, watching this makes the loss even more raw and grating. Yes, THAT voice in a guy who was grounded, funny, sweet, and who embraced all his fans like old friends, as did (and still do!) his bandmate brothers. These are the reasons the Smithereens invaded our collective consciousness and took up permanent residence, resonating through our souls like a monastery bell ringing out the strains of truth. I sure hope Pat's making folks wherever he is now as happy as he did all of us...!
