RIP Patrick Sky - one-time Guild artist.

[Sal]

Patrick Sky, singer-songwriter and one-time Guild artist died yesterday, May 27, 2021. He was a mainstay of the Greenwich Village folk community in the mid-’60s.

We recently had a discussion here about this odd-ball Guild branded harmonica mic he's shown playing in this advertisement (and comically he's playing into the back side of the harp).

A very nice tune . . . I wasn't aware of him, thanks for posting that clip.

RIP, sir.

I think I heard something about him building concertinas in later years. He was a very fine fingerpicker on guitar. And very funny. RIP.

I was first aware of him as the producer of (and second guitarist on) some of Mississippi John Hurt's Vanguard albums.
