Details:
Patrice Egging was born in Sidney, Nebraska May 25, 1950. Raised on a farm in western Nebraska, she learned a love for the seasons, weather, sunsets, the wide open vistas, playing in the tree patch with her sister and with her baby dolls, homemade baked goods, 4-H clubs, small town school and being involved in many activities, values of faith and family . She took piano lessons from the age of seven, some organ lessons and voice lessons during high school. She began to play for church and was an accompanist for the high school choir.
College years were interesting. She and her roommate joined with two young men who could play guitar, and they practiced a lot of Peter, Paul and Mary type of music, but the roommate fell in love with one of the guitar players and the “group” fell apart. Patrice transferred to another college to be with her high school sweetheart, whom she married the following fall. She has been married to Mike for 38 years, have 6 grown children and 8 grandchildren, so far. Raising the family became the focus for over twenty years, with music always there, but on hold. She started to play for mass after she converted to Catholicism in the late 1970’s. A few weddings and funerals. But not much else.
But God had some other ideas.
I was never able to play instruments "by ear" even though I tried many times. I once complimented a woman who could play the piano with gusto, and she was nearly blind. She said, "Oh, it''s a gift from God. I prayed and asked Him for this gift, and He gave it to me." Well, I never heard anything like that before, but I remember going home, sitting before my $50 beat-up, out of tune, upright piano, and asking Him to be able to play for Him. Well, I can''t explain it, but I began to play, and there was really a song.
This was 24 years ago, and the gift, enhanced by some ability to play by reading notation, has developed. I am surprised and blessed by the songs He gives me. I wanted to share this gift with others, so I began to play His songs before Mass at my Parish. Sometimes the songs "stick" and I can play them again. Sometimes there are words that come, too. But most of the time, it is there, and then gone.
This CD was made to record the songs given, on one day, in an hour or so of playing. I have been blessed to be able to hear them again, to pray with them. They have been a blessing to others, too.
