Oh Lordy, JP I wish you hadn't written that. I can't resist jumping into threads about merits of guitar players. IMHO, and I have seen them both play on several occasions, close-up and personal, Leo Kottke has no need to be in awe of Pat Donohue as a guitar player, although they are both superb. However, as a songwriter, Pat Donohue is almost unique. He also has the advantage of being a really nice person.
