Patti Quick, formerly Patti Whipp, had married her highschool sweetheart, Mark Quick, and relocated to Colorado. But before all that, she was a student at Menominee High School in Michigan who loved the guitar. “Growing up, I was enamored by my brothers’ finger picking,” Patti recalled. “I taught myself how to play when I was a freshman in highschool, when my parents gave me my own guitar.” She sat alone in her room and played for hours, initially imitating her brothers, but soon developing a style all her own.“The summer after my junior year of high school, I took a trip to California,” she continued. “I came back feeling more creative with my words and feelings. I felt like I could finally express myself.”
Patti took these feelings and put them to work. “After my trip, I started writing songs about my experiences and feelings, like driving along Highway 1 in California,” Patti remembered. “I wrote ‘It’s Gone’ after Mark left for college. I was sad and lonely after having him everyday over the summer. I was emotionally trying to figure out my life. I was a senior, it was my last year with my friends, and Mark was gone.”
