Tuck & Patti
"How did you meet?"

Tuck: We met in 1978 in a band in San Francisco. I was already in the band, and one day Patti came to audition. She walked in, said hi, passed out her charts (Horace Silver's "Out Of The Night Came You") and we started playing the song. Within a few seconds of hearing her sing, I knew that I had found my musical soulmate.

Patti: It was that immediate for me, too. I immediately knew two things, that the band wasn't happening, but that I was going to steal the guy playing guitar in the corner. Our mutual friend, Mike Stillman (who later wrote the lyrics to "Joy Spring," which became titled "When We're Alone"), had been trying to get us together for a while before that, but it just hadn't worked out.

Patti: We stayed with the band for two or three months, and being the only members who didn't live in San Francisco, we drove to rehearsals together. During that time we quickly became best friends.

Now, the musical duo has been singing together for over 28 years, and married for over 25.

"Do you have children?"

No. We realized a long time ago that our priority was supposed to be our musical collaboration, and that if we had children that priority would have to shift. We have lots of nieces and nephews spread all over the place.
