This is Patrick.

This is Patrick McKee, a local musician in Salt Lake City.  You may have seen him perform near Temple Square.  He has been playing his harmonica and sharing gospel hymns for the last 15+ years.  He says that he plays for God, the missionary sisters who serve in Temple Square, for himself, and for us.  Doing this makes him happy!

Patrick has a wonderful story to share about his life and his testimony of God.  I will let him tell his story, in his words, and with his music.  He not only plays the harmonica, but also the saxophone, clarinet, and more!  He likes to share his talents with locals and visitors alike.  He has a collection of hymn books, which missionaries have signed throughout the years, many sharing their favorite hymns and adding their good wishes.

Patrick and I met a few months ago, while I was coming out of the Temple.  Something made me stop and talk to him.  We have been friends ever since!  He is a wonderful person, and brother- and I love him!  You will too, as you learn  more about him, his life, his music, and his tour.  

One of Patrick's ambitions is to tour Utah's temples this year, and play his harmonica there.  He has called this Brother Patrick's Mormon Miracle Temple Tour (BPM2T2)!  He came up with the name, and is excited about sharing his message and talents with many.  The idea is not a new one.  His friend, Michael, thought about it three years ago, and has been encouraging Patrick ever since.  As you may know, timing is everything, and now is Patrick's time to "arise and shine forth"!  Visit Patrick's Blog.

All of us have gifts and talents.  Patrick wants to share his with you!  As we watch and listen, perhaps we can learn something of value from him and each other.  We can learn more about humanity, friendship, and love...our Father in Heaven's unending love for us, each and every one of us.
