This has been posted online before by the wonderful website PCL LinkDump (which I recommend be a companion read next to the WFMU blogging blob). I figured Pat deserved a place within the 365 Days Archives and I am very happy to squeeze it in as the year is almost over. Check out PCL for more information on the talented Pat Collins and a comment from Pat's daughter!

Goin' Out Of My Head?! Just listen to Goin' Out Of My Head! Yowza!

I've loved this album for many years. Discovered it in the depths of the CBC Radio record library.

[Webster Hubble Telescope]

Pat should do a mind meld w/ Shatner or Nimoy. But she eventually does let it rip. Wow!

[King Daevid MacKenzie]

...hmmm...is the Ed Begley who wrote the back cover liner notes to this album Ed Senior (who appeared in WILD IN THE STREETS the same year) or perhaps Ed Junior? Maybe someone can catch Junior on a Los Angeles city bus sometime and ask ;-) ...

[Maelene Collins-Grenat]

Yes it was Ed Senior the actor. He was a very good friend to my mom and family.

[Stuart]

I remember her from an episode of The Lucy Show. She made Lucy and Mr. Mooney think they were washing machines.

Maelene,

If you read this contact me as I know someone who was a good friend of your Mothers (a showbiz person herself) and she has stories of your Mom. I can put you two together. You can contact me at [email protected].

Hello – I saw your post on: http://lets-talk.com/hypnoticreflections/2004/11/why-i-am-thankful-for-my-work_23.html

Is there some reason that we can’t find an old VHS tape of your grandmothers show? I saw the show over 30 times and took her classes. The show was incredible! Different each time- I remember she had 6-8 VHS tape machines at the back of the room, going on for EACH SHOW, so stage participants could buy a copy. This went on for years. I have been looking for a copy of the show and would pay $200.00 just for the honor of seeing her again.

I’ve looked on the internet for the last 6 years and NOBODY responds. Has no one in your family have ANY video record of her Celebrity Club show? Somehow I just know that there are maybe hundreds of tapes out there, floating in private collections. Maybe a more concerted effort from the “family” could locate one? by posting on the net?

What a shame we can’t have at least clips, of the sunset blvd. show. NOTHING could say more of her talent and healing that at real clip. People can talk all they want, but the video would really let new people in on the original experience.

Sometime in the mid-late 80's Miss Collins also did 3 Showtime specials. Maelene, I still remember your beautiful daughter and that green van you and Jim had. Your mom is missed.

[Don]

I have a great copy of the Showtime presentation of Pat's I'd let go of. Just contact me at [email protected] and let me know as I may still have it if someone else hasn't snagged it.

[Tim]

Would also LOVE to see the showtime shows again. PLEASE PLEASE...someone tell me how to get a copy ! Thanks

[Don Potter]
