I was gonna say, "50 years? You're crazy!" But, damn you are right. Wow, how time flies. I first discovered PMG in the early 80s when I lived in Miami. Every Sunday morning on radio station Love 94, it was jazz just like this. I would put in a fresh cassette tape (remember those) to record something to listen to all week until the following Sunday. Peace to you brother! Keep listening!

This song has got to be one of the best pieces of music ever written. (OK that's maybe over the top.) It goes through several distinct phases so naturally, it's almost like it chronicles a lifetime. The piano-centered part starting around 5:00 and going to about 8:20, when the theme picks up again, is so beautiful that it almost brings tears. The Pat Metheney/Lyle Mays collaboration yielded so much musical gold.

This song and album also has special memories for me. Back in early 1978, before this album was released Pat Metheny came to American University and essentially rehearsd this album live for it seemed like hours and charged us $1 to attend. I can still remember him standing on the stage with his eyes closed and these long flowing melodies pouring out of his guitar. Also his keyboard player who was brilliant, sitting at the piano with his long hair and extremely skinny face. My favorite moment was when he opened his eyes and said "I realize I haven't been telling you any of the song titles. it's because most of them don't have titles yet." Funny how so many other events in life get lost but that one remains seared in my memory.

In 1989 I drove with my crew from Moron AB near Seville, Spain to Torremolinos on the Costa Del Sol. It was a sunny Friday morning and I was listening to San Lorenzo on my Sony Walkman. As we neared the coast our route took us through the hills above town. The hillsides were dotted with white, stucco homes sporting terracotta roofs. As we reached the top of one of the hills I looked out and there in the distance was the big, blue Mediterranean Sea. The picture is etched forever in my memory and it's what I think of every time I hear this great work by Pat Metheny.

Had just opened the door to the ?record store at the outdoor Pacific Garden Mall and stepping inside, - the sound of the needle coming down at the beginning of a record, and THIS began... sorry, a few tears... and I walked right up to the cashier and asked what was this incredible music?!? He picked up the record cover and handing it to me said, "It's the newest album from Pat Metheny. It just came in". So I immediately bought the first 'Pat Metheny Group' album sold in Santa Cruz, 1978. A vivid memory. Still my absolute favorite piece of music, period.

I have a very good friend that I attended DeVry Tech with in Phoenix in the 70's and he'd already been listening to him. He turned me on to "First Circle", "Travels" and "Offramp". I've been HOOKED since then. I've seen the group in concert 5 times and once I went to Oahu to work and listened to "The Way Up Pt.1-4" during a rainstorm. OMG.

Back in October, 1978, I was in my dorm room on a Sunday afternoon in Apt. C-3, at the Triad Apts, on the campus of Glassboro State College listening to Radio Station WDAS Philadelphia and San Lorenzo started playing. My LIFE changed FOREVER!!!! THANK YOU Pat Metheny Group!!!!

Back around 1980 HBO used to play this and other jazz songs before they started their daily broadcast (back before they were broadcasting for 24 hours a day). I have been searching for this song since then, and just found it today! Sounds just as sweet (even better) that it has sounded rolling around in my head the last 35 years. Amazing. I almost cried! (but don't tell anyone!)

I got to meet Pat Metheny in Boston while he was still in his late teens/early twenties. He was one of the guitarists in Gary Burton's Quintet. I went to see them at the Jazz Workshop on Boylston Street. Had to use the restroom but when I got in there, I heard an unplugged electric guitar being played nearby. I pushed open a stall door and there was Pat, leaning against the wall, rehearsing. He smiled and said there wasn't enough room in the warm up room for the whole band. I thought it a bit odd but hey...They were fabulous. I have been a huge fan ever since.

+mikekavanaughdotcom Very cool Mike. I worked for (and am dear friends with) Fred Taylor, the owner/officianado of the Jazz Workshop and later Scullers Jazz Club. Fred and his clubs have touched so many lives by bringing wonderful music to the forefront in intimate settings. Doesn't get much more intimate than this! Great story!

+mikekavanaughdotcom Never saw Pat the Workshop, wish I had. But did catch Ornette there one night, I arrived a bit late and the only empty seat was at a table in the front a few feet from the band. Wow.

This is the album that turned me on to Pat back in 1979. I went back and listened to Bright Size Life and Watercolors and a love affair was born! But this album (I call it The White Album) is still my favorite almost 40 years later. It's one of my "desert island" albums! Few musicians have touched my soul like Pat.

I first heard this on my honeymoon in Hawaii in 1979. I was on Maui driving a rented Toyota with a broken radio antenna from Lahaina back to our resort. Trying to stay awake, I searched for something on the radio and landed on this song - the only thing the radio would pick up. A full moon and the ocean on my left, sugar cane fields and mountains on my right-it seemed like the stars were talking to me through the radio. My first exposure to jazz and to Pat Metheny and still a favorite today.

I'll never forget this beautiful song. My best friend and I went to see PTG in 1977 in Nashville at the Exit Inn. It was their first tour, no one really knew who they were, and then they started with this; we were instantly transported into the new world of Pat Metheny. It was amazing. We went to the 7:00 show and, afterwards, Pat addressed the fairly slim crowd and said, "We haven't sold alot of tickets for the 9:00 show, so anyone who would like to stay on, you are welcome you to do so." Man, we so DID stay for the second show! Pat Metheny is not only a fantastic musician, but a very gracious person, as well. I truly believe that part of the greatness of his music is his sincere heart.

Pat's work has been the soundtrack to my life. I bought "the white album" in 1979, after listening to all of American Garage on a late night college radio program. I know of no other musician that has the range of emotion, dedication, amazing skill, and creative soul that Pat does. Lyle is almost right there with him in talent and depth. Their music has enriched my life in more ways than I can describe. And this is one of their pieces together that can still bring me to tears, listening to it in a dark room. Thanks, SomethingReal.

Had the great pleasure of meeting him while standing in line at Catskill Art and Office Supply in Woodstock,NY years back. I asked him if he had any plans to play locally,and he said he didn't think so. A few months later,I saw him play the Secret Story album in Albany,NY. One of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to. He's probably my favorite musician of all time.
