The lyrics of Christene LeDoux are so clear and vivid that with each note and tone she emits, a detailed form seems to take shape in our minds. To call Ledoux a storyteller is to understate her skills. She is an artist creating exquisite imagery through song. Her entire performance was pure art, her voice of angelic purity. Playing songs that included "The Entertainer" and "Half Moon Bay", she also demonstrated her virtuosity that makes her such a superlative entertainer. LeDoux may be new to the music industry but her talents would make you believe otherwise. Her performance of "Daddy's Café" is a prime example. Through every song the crowd was entranced, the aura of their love and appreciation a palpable presence in the club. This is what the experience of music is all about. - Arthur Jefferson, (of San Francisco Art Magazine) reviewing a 11/07/01 show at Los Angeles’, “The Mint

Story behind the song
A story my mom told me about her experience as a little girl, being dropped off at the orphanage. A story I never really listened to until now...

Sweet Patty (lyrics) copyright 2002 lyrics & music by Christene LeDoux I'm just a little girl with my skinny legs without a family, in this orphanage My ma she left me a note today sewn in my favorite doll an I'm sad cuz' I left it in the rain An I can see it from this window pane It's raining harder an it's getting wet here comes the warden and she's throwin' it away filled with my mama's last words that I never read Sweet Patty I hope you understand cuz' your a good girl I didn't want to leave you like I did you know I love you and I hope that, you love me back don't forget these words sweet patty, carry them I'm married now with my own kids sometimes I swear that I, see you in them my girls they ask me where grandma went I tell them the story of that rainy day Sweet Patty I hope you understand cuz' your a good girl I didn't want to leave you like I did you know I love you and I hope that, you love me back don't forget these words sweet patty, carry them I just turned 60, this past spring I've got 4 grandkids an I, thank god for them I don't know how I made it, without you here I'm just that little girl in that orphanage Sweet patty I hope you can hear me I want you to know that I never left You know I love you and I know that, you love me back don't forget these words sweet patty, carry them... carry them... carry them...
