Script writer, puppeteer and occasional singer-songwriter John Pattison joined us, without puppets, to perform and talk about three of his songs.  Together we discussed:

* the difference between abstract and narrative songs

* John’s journey from script writer to song writer

* How John wrote a song in the men’s room at Massey Hall after a Paul Simon concert

* How open mics are a great way to get instant feedback on your songs

* Puppets who kill

Stop by the Tranzac Club on their Monday night open mics and you might hear and see John there!

John also performed his songs live the studio:
