Pat Donohue In Concert at the Freight and Salvage

Product Description Pat Donohue combines the rare talent of being a superb guitar player with that of writing excellent songs. He is also a showman that weaves humor and wit into his performances. A concert with Pat can move you with his songs such as Midnight Man and then astound you with his finger dexterity as he blazed through Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. His tongue-in-cheek humor shows up in his hilarious songs Bio and Stealing From Chet while his sentimentality is apparent in Out On The Road To Kingdom Come. A concert with Pat Donohue is all-encompassing and is a richly musical experience that will leave you asking for more. DVD is region 0, playable worldwide Review I first heard him on the radio and got upset. Then I heard him in concert somewhere and got more upset. He thinks harmonically, improvises beautifully and writes. Disgusting. Enjoy his music, but if you're a guitar player, it's going to haunt you. --Leo Kottke About the Actor Pat Donohue is "a masterful guitarist and talented singer-songwriter of blues, folk and jazz" (Los Angeles Times).
