"  Emelia: You&amp;#039;re the youngest of seven kids. Did you want more than the four of us? Pat: Actually, I always dreamed I would have five kids. Having four now--one being a new baby--it would seem insane to have another. But I do believe that big families make for more love. Emelia: What if all of us become musicians? Pat: We would come up with a great name for our band and I would retire! Autumn: I love you, Daddy. Pat: I love you, baby. Autumn: I like the mermaid song on your record. I like Ariel the mermaid, too [she starts singing a tune from The Little Mermaid]. Pat: Emelia, you sang that song when you were little. Now you sing &amp;quot;Baby Got Back&amp;quot; and other inappropriate songs! Emelia: Dad, do you remember your first date? Pat: You mean my first gig when I was just starting out? Emelia: No! I mean your first date with a girl. Pat: I guess you&amp;#039;re asking because you&amp;#039;re getting close to the date phase. Hmm. I took a girl named Jennifer to the movies in sixth grade. My parents drove us, and it was the longest drive of my life. We sat there in total silence. Emelia: How did you ask her out since you didn&amp;#039;t have texting back then? Pat: It was simple. I said, &amp;quot;Do you want to go to the movies with me?&amp;quot; And she said, &amp;quot;Yeah.&amp;quot; That was pretty much it. But I don&amp;#039;t think we talked again after that. Emelia: Do you have any advice for the four of us? Pat: Know that you can live your dream. Find something you love to do and put the hours and energy into it until you&amp;#039;re great at it. And be happy. When Pat isn&amp;#039;t touring with Train or playing dad to Patrick, 19, Emelia, Autumn, and 7-month-old Rock, he voices the lead character on the PBS Kids Sprout show Driver Dan&amp;#039;s Story Train.
