Illinois Band "Patch &amp; Didi" Reunites to Reminisce
By K.P. Lynne
Calling all 1970s era Illinois music fans&hellip;remember Patch &amp; Didi? 
Tonight on &ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo;&hellip;the original band members of Patch &amp; Didi will reunite after all these years&hellip;to revel in the glory of the music, the unforgettable decade, and the magic of the memories. 
The adventures of Patch &amp; Didi morphed into the ultimate &ldquo;rock-n-roll story&rdquo;, where a group of really nice, polite, down-to-earth, Midwest kids said, &ldquo;let&rsquo;s form a band&rdquo;, enjoyed local and regional success, and ended up hitting the big time, with national stardom in other bands. 
And the best part is&hellip;all these years later&hellip;even after all the fame and glory&hellip;they are all still really nice, polite, down-to-earth, Midwest kids&hellip;but with an amazing story to tell!
Tune in to &ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; tonight and fasten your seatbelt for a ride back in time down the rock-n-roll highway! 
&ldquo;Before Frankie Valli &amp; The Four Seasons&hellip; before Kenny Rogers&hellip; before Sugartime&hellip; before all the miles, stages and adventures that followed&hellip;there was PATCH. In the early 1970s, my brother Rex Robinson, Lynn Hammann and I started making music together in Illinois. Then the remarkable Didi Carr joined us, and Patch &amp; Didi hit the road. We were young musicians with no idea where that road would eventually take us. And what a road it became.&rdquo;, said Robby Robinson. &ldquo;Rex, Lynn, Didi and I are getting back together to remember those days - the music, the nightclubs and showrooms, the people we backed, the crazy stories, the move to California&hellip;and how those early years eventually connected to some pretty amazing chapters in all of our lives. Lynn went on to spend decades with Kenny Rogers and worked with Dolly Parton, not to mention Frankie Valli. Didi starred in the television series Sugartime. Rex and I continued our journey together, and those Patch years ultimately became part of our road to Frankie Valli &amp; The Four Seasons. I&rsquo;ve dug into the archives, too &mdash; old photographs, newspaper clippings and some video surprises that we can&rsquo;t wait to share.&rdquo;
