"Londonderry Air" -- I distinctly remember playing an arrangement of this number in the Sarasota Junior High concert band Originally an Irish folk tune, iirc -- the Danny Boy lyrics were added somewhat later
Underneath this comment it says 'translate to English'! It doesn't work... I nearly p****d meself' laughing... (A beautiful rendition Pat, thank you. Just came home from your MoonDial gig in Ludwigshafen - Ah Jeysus...it was wonderful.)
I consider myself a serious musician who has dedicated their entire life to writing and creating music in the jazz genre similar to Pat. But I had to hold down 2 jobs, work on my automobile, (grease wrenches) chainsaw trimming trees, plumbing, electrical problems, paying for 3 kids to go to school, doing construction work, playing shitty bars, having to have cuts on my fingers, broken knuckles, bruises, and what not. My point is, all Pat has been doing his entire life is playing guitar, 320 days a year, concerts, guitar techs making sure his strings are in tune, making everything perfect for a guy that can spend every minute of his life playing and writing. What about the rest of us? Did we ever get the chance? Would any one of us be better than Pats music if we were ever given a chance instead of having to survive and do chores getting very limited time to do what we love also? To me the guy has never worked a job, invested in family time, had any real interests besides himself. He never had to cut his hands or fingers, for over 50 years, just walks on stage to applause, people worship and adore him, and never even realize how fortunate he is, and the rest of my extremely talented friends who are musicians, they can’t find 30 minutes in the week to play their instruments. I don’t think what he is producing is any better than Kenny G who he has in the past insulted to an extreme level, pure inhumane trashing and insulting as if he thinks he is the greatest musician on the planet. I mean really, what is so special about what he is doing? I use to think he was something, but not anymore.
Attended your concert in Tivoli last night.
Talking 'bout 'Travel's. You sure took us on an incredible journey.

Oh Danny Boy…
Pm could select songs for the rest of his life and do as this . This is a stunner bravo
Beautiful arrangement for guitar. But the name of this song is Danny Boy, isn't it?
Imagine being able to make art as beautiful as Pat Metheny's.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
