Brekfast With The Stars Little Pattie



On Saturday morning June 11th I went to Greenmount Surf Club for the 2nd Breakfast With The Stars which this time it was Little Pattie. It was my time having breakfast with Little pattie as the first was @ the same place during Wintersun 2009 on Friday june 5th and it was an great time experience too talking about her career and people asking questions about her life which I asked about Jay Justin who wrote her early songs and how important was shows like Bandstand,Sing Sing Sing, Saturday Date, Opportunity Knocks and others. on this day Little Pattie came after 7am and said hi to everyone. I had bacon,Sausages,Baked beans, Tomatoes and Hash browns for breakfast and I saw Little Pattie coming to my table which she said "Hello My Darling Nice to see you" which I said nice to see you too and welcome to Cooly ROcks On. Little pattie got our attention an few times when there were problems concerning coffee and tea and the organization of the breakfast with the stars which she said making Cooly Rocks On an success. People asked questions about her career which i asked about her memories of the Long Way To the Top tour which she said it was the best time of their lives and remembers about some of the rockers talking about the battles of the teas like twinings and others comparisons to the old days when they had stuff like Burbon and some were asking about Col Joye, if she had any children and coming to Coolangatta in the 60's which she talked about how the Joy Boys were strict about the parties which she had to go bed when the parties were going on. Phil Villers who is the Deputy Chair and Deputy President of Cooly Rocks On was at the Breakfast and I got to speak with him which he was very nice and friendly. Pattie had Cd's on sale and she signed my program and got an photo with her. If you ever get a chance to meet her after an show she is very nice and friendly to the fans and very down to earth.
