Played live in Cocoa Beach and the crowd was sparse. Back in the day it would have been packed. Are we getting old or did the word he was playing for 10 bucks fall on deaf ears?

I was right.

I saw a photo and looked like a pretty good crowd for Pato. Maybe the threat of rain scared some away.

My band played at Johnathans Pub that same night and it was packed. But, usually is on a Saturday night.

Definitely need to work on getting the word out. If I had known, I would have been there for sure, despite the fact I am indeed getting old and lame.

Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971.

I did my part.....& I know coal claims to have me on ignore but we all know, it's a lie. Hear dis: do the math..... YES, you (we) are getting older. However: Pato is 61, and has been on a world tour for at least the last 20 or 30 years. He STILL comes thru FLA twice a year, even tho the scene is not what it used to be. He's famous since early 80s with the Beat, and English Beat, with Ranking Roger (r.i.p) He always puts 110% in every show, will answer all his emails, produces all his own shows, and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. He's riding a wave most of us wish we could. He may not be as popular here as he used to be, but Worldwide - IT DOESN'T MATTER. Lots of people are still just now discovering this lyrical master, who lives by the Golden Rule. Go Pato, respect.

Pato is Buju's brother?

again with this? yes, they both grew up together in Beverly Hills and were on the surf team

Thanks, I first thought they were cousins from San Bernardino. But I forgot.
