This recording was originally produced as a gift for Pat Merola's 80th Birthday on February 11, 2000. He was happily surprised. Several months later he passed away unexpectedly. These tributes from his children celebrate Pat and his life.
"For you Dad - with my love and affection for a lifetime of music. As a child, how proud I was to go to work with you - The Copa, ABC, record dates. You were there for my piano recitals, school shows and choral concerts. We've shared the gift of music and now, this very special gift of your music is for you. You're the best!" Love,
Karen
"Dad, I've waited twenty years to find the right people to record this music. I found that in Daniel May and his brother Benjamin. The music speaks for itself. Timeless and viable, good music is simply that, "good music!" Thank you for a lifetime of treasured experiences in the world of music. Your gift has been my gift. This swings! Happy Birthday! Love,

My father forgot more about music than most people will ever know. He was a consummate professional, admired by his peers, and a true gentleman in every sense of the word. I will miss him. There will be more to record so that we can all enjoy the gift of his music.
When you listen to this, THE MUSIC OF PAT MEROLA, I hope it puts a smile on your face. It is intended to celebrate the life of a very fine musician.
