Interviews with: Barry Vogel ... Daniel Barth ... ForeWord Magazine

Interview with Barry Vogel

The interview with Barry Vogel of Radio Curious was originally broadcast on August 30th, 2006. His introduction said,
Stories of the days that no longer exist in rural areas tell us how things were, how people worked lived and played, and bring to life conditions that most of us never knew existed. Walking Tractor and Other Tales of Old Anderson Valley is a collection of stories written by Bruce Patterson, who lives in Philo, a rather small community in rural Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California. The introduction to Walking Tractor quotes Ernest Hemmingway as saying “You can only write about what you know,” something that is verified in the stories of Bruce Patterson, who is known to his friends as Pat. I met with Pat in the studio of Radio Curious, in the last week of August, 2006 to learn about his life, his stories and the man he is.
