Hello,
I used to be a poster on this board but my account has been inactive for a few years. I hate to come back bringing such sad news, but I thought some of us would like to know that Patrick Mullins, aka our longtime fellow poster 'papeetepatrick', died months ago, on either July 31 or Aug. 11. He was a difficult but sui generis man with exhuberant taste who led a charmed, full life, and we had many great long conversations in which I learned a lot about music, art and other things. I thought this obituary did him justice: https://dothaneagle.com/news/local/enterprise-native-found-appreciative-audiences-as-classical-pianist/article_d284a6ea-5720-11ee-9faa-abdc3493bcda.html
There is also a rather gruesome story in the New York Post which I won't post, because it has photos of the incident and all, and I'd rather remember him in a better light, vigorous and full of life.
