I had Ian sign the first song he received song writing credit on, "And I Have Learned to Dream," recorded by Dave Berry, in 1966. When I asked him to sign it he said, "That's an old one," and I responded by telling him that it was his first record, and he asked innocently, "Who wrote that?" I told him he did but that it was under his real name. In other words, "Patterson." He said, "Well, in that case, you have something that even I don't have."

I would think that the first of something he did, in music and something that he was pursuing would be invaluable but he doesn't seem to give much thought to it.

The opening act was Wreckless Eric best known from his one great single, "Whole Wide World."

and recently covered by the Proclaimers;

Eric's acoustic version is very rare;

and live;

and on ChorusTV, France 1980;

and Will Ferrell singing in a scene from the movie "Stranger Than Fiction."

He and his wife do perform a Mott The Hoople related song:
