Mike Patto and “Ollie” Halsall: As the two driving forces in Patto (a jazz-influenced psychedelic four-piece from the U.K.), nobody really cares that namesake vocalist Patto died from cancer in 1979 or that guitarist Halsall died from a heart attack in ’92 (possibly from a heroin overdose). However, consider this: During the 1980s, bassist Clive Griffiths and drummer John Halsey were involved in a car accident. Halsey recovered from his injuries and now walks with a limp; Griffiths, meanwhile, was partially paralyzed and contracted a rare case of partial amnesia. What’s so compelling about this amnesia is that Griffiths no longer remembers being involved with Patto. He can’t remember being in a band whose singer died in the late ’70s—which means he can’t remember the singer, either. He has not forgotten how to rock; he has forgotten that he did rock. The lesson: To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.
