It depends on the kind of record deal. If you mean the big budget, big exposure, world-domination type of deals, then I say Patti got no chance. But a deal with a small, independent label? I could see that happen.

And who needs a record deal anyway? With todays technology, it's easy enough to record songs in a relativily simple home studio and distribution and promotion can be done through the internet.

True, I'd be more than happy with Patti just doing solo gigs and selling her songs online.
