notes
At 22, Paddy was ten miles off the coast of Maine apprenticing with a natural foods chef on Monhegan Island. When he wasn't cooking, you'd find him on the rocks above
the sea, cheap wine in one hand, cheap guitar in the other, quoting Jack Karouac and Edward Abbey. Only the call of the road could have finally pulled him away from that magical place. It's this tension between his strong rural roots and insatiable wanderlust that have come to define his life and music.
As a songwriter, Paddy has a knack for the overlooked. He knows that common sense is not so common, and simple truths are not so simple. With a hitch-hikers heart and a back pack full of notebook philosophy, Paddy leaves you grinning like you've just been let in on a secret -- one that you might just have known all along.

This cd is amazing
author: AndrewIm living in Virginia and was just surfing and found paddy and this cd, and it is amazing, truly an inspiring piece of work, kudos to paddy and the talented musicians who assisted in creating this masterpiece
Paddy defines himself with "Our Hometown"
author: G. CormierDespite the fact that Paddy made us wait a few years for this CD, it's quite easy to forgive him with this tremendous offering. Frankly, he's defined himself exteremely well on this CD as one of Maine's precious gems (just above Maine tourmaline!). From the opening cut "Hiking" (which grooves nicely like waves lapping on the rocks keeping time with the tides) to the gorgeous title cut of "Our Hometown"... amazing! Though I stepped off my musical path years ago, I think it's time to pick up the old guitar and learn a few of these songs... they're just that good! Hat's off to Jud Caswell who recorded and produced... nicely done!
Just what I needed
author: CharityThis is the it. What I love about folk music, you sing what you feel and this is it. I especially love the song Love What You Do, that is so me right now. I will be buying this CD!
