Caught a good picture of Donnie (the Scottish half of Men of Worth http://www.menofworth.com/) just prior to their performance Thursday night last at the Valhalla Boathouse Theatre, South Lake Tahoe, CA, USA. True to form Donnie had just told a funny story to my wife and was enjoying her reaction. Mr. Donnie Macdonald, talanted musician/vocalists and a very fun and funny guy! ...Donnie Macdonald comes from the Isle of Lewis, one of the Hebridean Islands off the west coast of Scotland. Writing tunes and original songs in both his first language Gaelic and in English, Donnie presents the music from his native Scotland with passion and humour. Donnie performs on vocals, octave mandolin, tenor banjo, concertina, and bodhran... Full Men of Worth Bio here: http://www.menofworth.com/Files/Men%20of%20Worth%20Bio.pdfJames and Donnie were superb! On the long walk out to the car we overheard many positive comments from the near sellout crowd who, by an earlier show of hands, was about 75% first timers to a Men of Worth show. Off topic: Valhalla at Lake Tahoe is owned by the US taxpayers, administered by the United States Forest Service and managed by a non-profit, volunteer organization.
