Fido Apr 11 2011 at 12:05 AM	Brilliant!
Peterw Apr 10 2011 at 8:09 PM	He used a number of animal sounds in concert when I saw him in 1986 on the Song X Tour. I distinctly remember a lion, birds, the donkey among others. I was the jazz DJ on the college radio WUSO (Wittenberg University Springfied Ohio). My senior year Pat/Ornette Coleman/Charlie Haden...and the song X tour performed there in our Fieldhouse. I had the chance to interview Pat for about 20 minutes to play on my show the following days. I wonder if I still have that cassette someplace?
Dazedcat Apr 10 2011 at 11:12 AM	I thought the Blues Donkey was pretty cool too.
blisterfree Apr 08 2011 at 10:55 PM	OMG - where can I hear more of the "Blues Donkey"?! Anyone know if Pat ever used that effect to humorous, er, effect, either in concert or in the recording studio? It’s particularly impressive to hear musical results like that after punching a few keys on ENIAC, as seen in that bygone interview excerpt.
Judie Apr 04 2011 at 9:53 AM	Unfortunately, CBS videos do not seem to play in Canada.
bluepno Apr 04 2011 at 8:19 AM	yes...but, the "Blues" donkey? What was that an Apple II? I wonder if that was connected to the Synklavier? I’ve got to see where this idea goes.
fendweller Apr 04 2011 at 7:46 AM	Foxesfred - that old CBS interview is on Youtube. Somewhere.
Tom Rudd Apr 04 2011 at 5:56 AM	Bravo Pat, wonderful piece. I hope it was watched by millions of people.
jazziz22 Apr 04 2011 at 3:32 AM	Amazing piece ... now I really can’t wait for the DVD ... Pat is a pure genius - his forward thinking ability is unparalleled ... I still would love to see another PMG CD/DVD and Tour ...
eduardoruns Apr 03 2011 at 6:43 PM	I heard about the CBS piece on Pat Metheny radio; I watched it and congratulate Pat Metheny for his innovation. I am from Missouri too, currently living in Miami, and Pat’s music always reminds me of home, beyond the Missouri Sky.
CATHY W Apr 03 2011 at 5:43 PM	Was fantastic piece! Is Pat a genius or what??!!! Have seen the concert, love the cd.. and even more this piece made me be in awe of what Pat was able to accomplish, or even have the imagination to bring this to fruition....wow! The ideas Pat has had that led up to this even as early as 1986 is amazing .....(the funky donkey!!) LOL... Hope everyone gets a chance to see this....
bugaloo911 Apr 03 2011 at 5:22 PM	Really enjoyed seeing how the idea unfolded. Admittedly, I know a lot of Pat’s earlier work and didn’t dive into what "orchestrion" really meant. This just shows his mastery of creativity in his craft and never sitting back. Love that he keeps pushing the boundaries...
foxesfred Apr 03 2011 at 4:38 PM	They showed parts of an earlier interview w/ Billy Taylor. Anyone know where we can find it in it;s entirety?
TomHaupt Apr 03 2011 at 1:54 PM	Watched the excerpt. Great stuff and Pat’s so unassuming as an artist. No EGO. Love it!
Peterw Apr 03 2011 at 12:57 PM	Watched it...great little interview. Hopefully someone will see it who isn’t familiar with Pat and go out and buy the album. It was/is such an amazing project.
pat2112 Apr 03 2011 at 10:42 AM	Great too see this clip. The DVD will be amazing.
dwi4001 Apr 03 2011 at 8:49 AM	Excellent clip of Pat and the big rig. Even a year later, it’s nice to see how groundbreaking the whole thing continues to be. Can’t wait for the DVD!
