Music
Figfty years of writing songs and playing live music has
resulted in immeasureable joy in my life. For the past decade,
Patrick Storm has explored live looping with a 5 track Roland
devicer. It’s a fun and handy songwriting tool that allows for
the development of songs and musical ideas. During the
Covid-19 pandemic, Patrick pushed looping to new levels by
pre-recoding ttight arrangements of performance songs.
Current Projects
I’ve made a commitment to complete the Great Loop in a
multi-year creative project to move a 31 foot sailboat, the
Celtic Wind more through more than 3,000 miles of
waterways, canals and lakes in a circumnavigation of the
Eastern US.
The Celtic Wind Project it’s a multi-media effort to document
the journey within a journey. Information on sailing, boat
acquisition, maintenance and repair, history, music ,nature
and challenges in the personal life of the author are
waypoints in a voyage of discovery and wonder.
Books and Short Stories
Creative output of writing that documents different phases of
the Great Loop journey and chapters of the author’s life.
Thanks to the financial support of readers, future projects
and adventures are funded.
The site also feautres early writings and stories, some that
have been included in other collections.
Photos and Video
A number of different photo collections are accessible here.
The more recent photo albums are from the voyage of the
Celtic Wind and segments of the Great Loop.
Older photo sets document more than four decades of
exploriation of the San Juan Mountains of Southwest
Colorado. The Alpine and Sub-Alpine wildflower photo set is
from San Juan County Colorado. The life zones are the most
consistent and flowers and fauna are identical no matter
where they are found in the world.
