Union guitar man Patterson plays for joy not profit
Carl Patterson, 38, a disabled Union resident, plays guitar on Main Street two to three times weekly, often from 6:30 a.m. at his favorite spot. Inspired by Jonathan Seymour and rock legends, he learned by ear, bought an acoustic guitar for 60 dollars, and participates in a local band at the Hide Away bar while pursuing music as a personal passion rather than a career.
