It's never too late to follow a dream. And according to singer Patti Hall, if you're going to dream, dream big.

At 46, the Seattle business woman has turned her world upside down. Encouraged by family and music industry professionals a couple years ago, she recorded her first full length CD "Never Ask Why." Last month, she mustered the courage to release her first national single, "Waitin' on a Train."


Within 30 days, the song has flown faster up the charts than anyone expected, and shows no signs of slowing down. She's already broken into three New Music Weekly charts and is sitting at #30 on the Adult Contemporary Top 30 Indie, #40 in the Adult Contemporary/Hot Adult Contemporary (Soft Rock/Upbeat Rock) and #76 in the Top 40 & Adult Contemporary/Hot Adult Contemporary Formats. The song is quickly gaining radio play throughout the U.S., Europe and Australia.


Co-written by popular country heartthrob Joe Nichols, the haunting "Waitin' on a Train" is about having the courage to face personal pain and the need to take risks in order to move forward. The title is fitting, as trains have long symbolized freedom and adventure. There simply couldn't be two more appropriate themes to describe Ms. Hall's personal story.


Following a near tragic riding accident 20 years ago, she abandoned two of her greatest loves, horses and music. The fall left her with broken fingers, shattered ribs, and a fractured skull. At that time she was also a recognized performer on the Seattle club scene. One day she walked away from both horses and music to build a respectable career in commercial real estate. Happily married, she then settled down and created a family. One day that inner cowgirl told her it was time to reclaim her two earlier passions, and this time to do it with gusto.


"I'm not going to sit around wondering what might have been. I'm facing all my fears and have climbed back in the saddle to ride horses and back into the recording studio," she said. "After all, you don't regret in life what you do; you regret what you don't do."


Ms. Hall's train of dreams has left the station and she's climbed aboard for the ride of a lifetime. To listen and learn more go to http://www.pattihall.com/.
