Who you talkin' bout, Pchiddy?! I can handle food.
Patrick and Boyang as twitted on Dec 30, 2015
With Chinese Ice Dancers Wang/Liu from February. Looks like you need to click on the photo from the series.
wow liu is so tall... in the photo with alex who is not short by any means, he's still half a foot taller....
That's why he's so strong, going around picking up all the skating boys.
Wang/Liu is really a very good looking pair.
Good job, Calica! I'll add those to my weekly roundup post.
All, my music page is now up if you want to check it out. I included links to watch videos of Patrick's performances, listen online, and buy the music.

Let me know what you think! As always, I welcome suggestions and comments.
vivley, just a question : how did you determine which performer for the classical recordings because it's quite arbitrary and not necessarily the right performer as they are often not credited by choreographers/figure skating.
PS and well, as a purist (sorry! ) if you write BY you probably should always list the composers, for instance, Mack The Knife is By Kurt Weill, performed by Bublé or Nessun Dorma is not BY the East village.... but by Puccini
Thanks, 4everchan. If you are talking about the "Buy Music" links, yes, those are arbitrary for the classical pieces. Generally I based them on what sounded most similar and/or Amazon sales ranking. The assumption is that the buyer can search for another version if they desire. If you know of other versions that were the actual one used by Patrick (or better), I would be glad to link to them.
As for the composers vs. performers, I did have Mack the Knife as being performed by Bublé. I see that I missed that for Nessun Dorma, so I added "performed by" the East Village.
Let me know if you find anything else. Thanks for the feedback - it's just what I needed!
I think perhaps you should put a note that the people are not buying the actual version but a suggested version. That would simplify things.
regarding Mack the Knife and Nessun Dorma, it's great you have the performed by... however you should also credit the composer. He's really the creator of the music.
So for instance
Mack the Knife
by Kurt Weill, performed by Bublé would be the proper credits..
but yeah... great job.
Thanks, that page took a lot of work to research and put together. I added the by... credits for MTK and Nessun Dorma. For the suggested versions I put an asterisk by the Buy Music links with the note you suggested.
As always, I appreciate your feedback!:thumbsup:
my pleasure.
I know how much time it is to make a website... trust me !! You did a wonderful job. I am just nitpicking as this is a field I work in... (music, credits etc)... and this way, it will also appeal to musicians, not only figure skating fans... keep updating us on the wonderful site. I hope you get a nice message from Patrick himself. you deserve it
Aw, thanks. Speaking of music, you'll be pleased to know that I will be performing Beethoven's 9th, Barber's Agnus Dei, and Ennio Morricone's The Mission Suite with a choir in an upcoming concert. I must go practice now. Have a good night!
Here's the list of music ideas I gathered for Patrick:

A lot of people like piano and violin music for him, and others liked tango or other contemporary music.
vivley thanks so much for all your efforts. And for even buying photos. You are a great fan.
Any news on when Patrick will start competing? In 2013 he showed up to Thornhill Summer Skate, but he's not on the interim entry list released last week.
I hope his first competition allows him to do both SP and FS. Japan Open is nice, but I think last year he needed more mileage with the SP than the FS.
