Description

<p>Since seeing his first photographs of Stonehenge as a young boy living in northern California, Patrick has been fascinated by the standing stones of Europe. His first actual experience of walking among the stones did not occur until 1986, when he was in his mid 30's. Over the following years he continued to make return trips and his passion for them, and his desire to understand them, grew stronger with each visit.</p><p>Megalithic stone monuments are spread all over Europe, with a high concentration in Ireland and the UK. Although there are many theories as to who built them and why, and though archeologists have made many enticing discoveries which help explain when these monuments might have been built, along with their purposes, no-one really knows.</p><p>In 2009 Patrick decided it was time to try to really get close and personal with the stones, to find out what he could about them, as well as from them. So, he planned and undertook the first of what he called his "Stone Journeys." Over the next nine years he searched out and found over 150 different stone sites in six different countries, many of which he returned to on numerous occasions.</p><p>Throughout his travels he kept journals about his experiences and took photographs of the many stone sites he visited. This information and these images were then gathered together to create, Stone Journals.</p><p><strong>About the Author</strong> - Patrick has spent the majority of his life involved in the music business, as a musician, songwriter, producer, band leader, and owner of his own record label, Blue Rock'It Records. His first "professional" tour was in 1970 with blues legend Charlie Musselwhite and it was while in Charlie's band that he made his first recordings. Over the following years he toured and recorded with many other blues greats, including Brownie McGhee, Lowell Fulson, Chris Cain, and Jimmy Witherspoon. He also performed and recorded with his brothers Mark and Robben Ford and since 1988 Patrick has fronted his own band, The Ford Blues Band.</p><p><strong>keywords</strong>: Standing stones, Stone circles, Megaliths, Dowsing, Earth Mysteries, Travel, Journal, Stonehenge</p>
