Washington re-signed Hall to a six-year, $54-million deal, keeping the cornerback out of free agency.
The deal was struck a few minutes before midnight and capped nearly a week of negotiations. The two sides did not start talking until last week at the scouting combine. One NFL source said the Redskins were frustrated with the pace of negotiations and with Hall's primary agent, Alvin Keels.
However, both sides gave a little to get this done. It's a huge amount of money. As another NFL source said, he did not hear any teams talking about Hall at the combine and certainly not for a great deal of money.
But Hall fit in well with Washington and earlier Thursday said that he wanted to return and called it a good fit.
The Redskins are interested in free agent defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, as are a handful of teams. That could limit what they can do with him and allow him to sign elsewhere. They've spoken with the agent for Chris Canty, who could visit this weekend. But nothing official is set up as of yet.

I loved this film as a kid, and it was fun to re-watch as an adult. Ok, it's not going to win the award for the best film ever. It's definitely light Disney live action comparable to many of it's other 70s films. True, the original Escape To Witch Mountain was better, but this has some great moments of it's own. Also, it's got a fabulous cast, Bette Davis and Christopher Lee, and those incredible kids!!! Can you tell I like this film despite it's silliness?
What makes it all more special, are the extras. They are laid out kind of strangely, and if you don't look around, you could miss them. The highlight of these is the documentary, "Making the 'return' trip." If you wondered what ever happened to Kim and Iake, as well as the members of the gang (can you believe they actually grew up?), the crew, and director, they're all here. Thank you everyone at Disney for putting the extra effort into this release. Keep up the good work!
"RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN" is the long awaited sequel to "ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN" (1975) and continue to be a family sci-fi film to utilize the latest special effects at that time and bring back popular British director John Hough and popular teen talents Ike Iesenmann and Kim Richards to reprise their role as the alien human brother and sister team who have supernatural abilities.
"RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN" focuses on the return of Tony and Tia to the planet Earth. The two haven't been back in several years, so they get the opportunity to have some rest and relaxation.
Meanwhile, a mad scientist named Victor (Christopher Lee) and Letha (Bette Davis) talk about how they should be making money. Letha was once a very rich woman but funded Victor's laboratory in order manipulate people and control them. Victor decides to put Letha's nephew Sickle (Anthony James) to a test by using a remote control device in which Victor talks on it and the person will follow his instructions. His first instruction is to have Sickle climb up a tall building and walk on the rooftop ledge and seeing how the remote control device is actually working on him.
Meanwhile, as Tony and Tia are being driven in their cab, the cab loses fuel prompting the taxi cab driver to get gas. While left alone, Tia's premonitions start kicking in to full gear as she senses a man who will fall to his death from falling from a building.Read more ›

4 Spanish cops convicted of torturing bombers
Members of the Basque separatist group ETA were arrested for bombing Madrid's airport in 2006
By Ciaran Giles
Associated Press
MADRID — Four of Spain's Civil Guard police officers were convicted Thursday of torturing members of the Basque separatist group ETA after they were arrested for bombing Madrid's airport in 2006.
Tried in October, the officers were found guilty of beating and threatening to kill Mattin Sarasola and Igor Portu after they were taken into custody in 2008. The court said Sarasola had a gun pointed at his head, and Portu was dunked several times in a river.
Thursday's ruling came on the fourth anniversary of the attack at Madrid Terminal 4, which destroyed a five-story parking garage, killing two Ecuadorean immigrants and wounding 41 people.
ETA, which claimed responsibility for the bombing, has been seeking an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southwestern France for more than four decades. The group has killed more than 825 people and is considered a terrorist organization by the EU and the U.S.
The court sentenced one Civil Guard officer to 4 1/2 years in jail and the other three to terms between 2 and 2 1/2 years. The court found 11 other officers involved in the arrest operation innocent.
Sarasola, Portu and a third ETA member were convicted and sentenced earlier this year for their roles in the airport attack.
The car-bombing marked the end of a so-called permanent cease-fire that ETA had called in March 2006. The organization returned to violence with the airport bombing after peace talks with Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government went nowhere.
Spanish and French police have since arrested dozens of suspected ETA members in both countries. ETA has not committed a deadly attack since July 2009, when it killed two policemen on the island of Mallorca.
Speculation has been strong recently that the group may soon announce another cease-fire.

Very Disappointing Stayed 2 nights in same room The bed was supported underneath by 2x4's rather than a platform. we had to slide the mattress over so when one sat on the edge of the bed they didn't tip the bed. The second morning the shower didn't work because the handle was broken off and couldn't be fixed (seemed to work fine the first morning and we were gone all day but noticed the shower curtain was askew, cleaning people must have broken it or knew it was and didn't say anything) Hot and cold water reversed in the bath sink. Complained but said they couldn't do anything about it since we booked through hotels.com Manager said he would give us some discount if we came back and used his hotel within the week! We were on a road trip and definitely not coming back through Durango
As soon as we walked in the clerk was rude and was not personable. Kept implying that I have pets (which I don't!). He kept threatening what would happen if I did have pets! It was very frustrating. I told him my daughter had just had a baby and that I was very tired and wanted to go to bed. He finally gave me the keys to the room. The room was freezing cold!!
We sat on either side of the bed to a loud crack, found a nasty cleaning cloth next to the bathroom, on the sink...met nasty, discusting. Went to make a cup of coffee and there was still nasty old coffee in the filter. Tried to talk to the manager and was told he was not there but they would give him the message. I have not heard from him! Then the front desk said "we would normally give you a 10% discount" (like this happens all the time) and "well we can't do anything because you booked through a 3rd party. This was a 240 dollar room with tax and pet charges. Discusting and rediculous!!!
Hotel room itself was clean. The lobby was very small and not very inviting. The night hotel staff was more than NOT friendly. The place fit the bill for a inexpensive stay, but I would not stay here again.
The rooms were decent, very clean.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

A three week trip can be well spent in Europe or even just in France, because time flies faster than you would ever imagine.
Considering the season, I would try to take advantage of the Christmas festivities as much as possible. They have little to do with religion in France in any case -- it's more of a "winter festival." Therefore I would recommend adding Strasbourg and probably a couple of German cities to your plans. If you were able to rent a car and drive around independently, that would be great, but if not, you should start booking train tickets as soon as possible if you want to save money on them -- I'm sure it is already too late for certain dates, depending on when the school holidays start.
Report Abuse
I'm pretty much with Kerouac, you need a bunch of cities to stay now that the nights are drawn in and weather is more unpleasant. Paris, Strasbourg, Reims are a good set in france. You could also look at Trier, Luxembourg, Brussels and some of the ancient cities like Brugges as well as German cities for the Christmas fairs.
Alternativley you will find christmas fairs in french provincial cities like Avignon (with the pope's castle) and Nimes, Arles. But these cities are great in the summer for tourists but a bit out-doors for winter.
What do you like to do?
Report Abuse
I agree to sticking with cities at this time of year - the countryside won't look like much.
It's hard to know what to reco without knowing where you have been and liked or not - and what you like to do.
I would tend to visit London (which I love), add days to Paris, and pick one or at most two others - based on your interests. (I might rent a car and head for Strasbourg, visiting Dijon or Colmar on the way.

Nice is great in the winter: lots to do, no need for a car, and all those nice small towns and villages nearby to visit by train and/or bus.
Report Abuse
Thank you for all the information. We are now going to Israel but coming back to France for an additional 5 days from Dec 9-14. We are thinking of renting a car and traveling to Beaune. I am concerned about the weather and is Beaune a good destination at that time of year.
Report Abuse
I was in Beaune last December, on the 17th. It was fine, but I would have preferred to visit at another time of year. I was happy with a one day visit. I like the Strasbourg area much better.
Depending on where you are from, Chamonix could be nice.
OR, Barcelona! If you want more temperate weather.
Report Abuse
If you ignore the wine and compare Strasbourg to Beaune, then Strasbourg has it every time. Comparing the wines is difficult as more people have heard of Burgundy than Alsace. I actually prefer Alsace wine but hey that is me not you.
This whole renting a car thing that people from outside of Europe do. I know loads of people do it in Europe but given the very low costs and high quality of trains on mainland europe why would you want to get into a little box on wheels in December to drive to little places? It just seems strange to me. Winter is for cities and towns, all the other seasons are for the country.

Nefertiti - Mudered?,
This review is from: Drinker of Blood (Lord Meren Mysteries) (Hardcover)
Lord Meren has always been suspicious about the deaths of the Pharoah Akhenaten and The Great Royal Wife, Nefertiti. He becomes convinced that Nefertitis death was caused by ingestion of poison, not the plague as originally assumed. Her death occurred years before, and the killer has had some time to cover their tracks. Meren must dig deep to find the real cause of Nefertitis death.
The killer becomes aware of Merens inquiries, and makes a bold move. King Tutankhamun is attacked and Meren is suspected of the crime. As a reader, this is the weak spot in the plot for me. After years of loyal service, one would think Meren was beyond reproach, and the King would insist on his innocence. Perhaps Robinson is making a statement about Tutankhamuns youth and immaturity, or that rulers can truly trust no one.
Robinson takes a different path with this novel, alternating between time periods with each chapter. We learn a great deal more about the reign of Ahkenaten and Nefertiti. What happened in their time is so important, as it sets the stage for the motivation behind Meren and King Tutankhamuns actions in the three previous novels.
I am especially excited about the manner Robinson portrays Queen Nefertiti. She was queen in name and in fact - she took on many royal tasks that Akhenaten found distasteful or difficult. His reign might have been even more disastrous if it were not for her influence on the king, and her diplomacy in politics and religion.

The effort by Pedro Sanchez, leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party, to form a government on March 2 brings to mind the story of the hunter who goes into the forest with one bullet in his rifle. Seeing a deer on his right and a boar on his left, he shoots in the middle.
Sanchez's search for a viable coalition partner began when the ruling right-wing Popular Party (PP) took a pounding in Spain's Dec. 20 election, dropping 63 seats and losing its majority. Voters, angered by years of savage austerity that drove poverty and unemployment rates to among the highest in Europe, voted PP Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy out and anti-austerity parties in, although leaving the PP as the largest single party in the parliament.

In the very top of the dome of the Rotunda, right over the cases holding the Constitution, there is a large opening called an oculus. In March, facilities staff lowered a cable through the oculus to hoist up a 225-foot-long banner that starts over the Bill of Rights, swings up into the middle of the dome, and then meanders out the door, along the hallway, and ends at "Amending America," a new temporary exhibit.

Acting Archivist Trudy Huskamp Peterson
The National Archives History Office is celebrating Women's History Month by featuring past employees. Today's post comes from Sarah Basilion.
Trudy Huskamp Peterson was appointed Acting Archivist of the United States in March 1993, following the departure of Archivist Don W. Wilson, who left to head the new Bush Presidential Library Center.
She was the first woman to hold the position.
The Not-So-Lame Amendment
Today's post comes from Hailey Philbin in the National Archives History Office.
The 20th Amendment is often referred to as the Lame Duck Amendment. It was passed by Congress on March 2, 1932, and ratified on January 3, 1933.
The amendment changed the date of the Presidential inauguration from March 4 to January 20. It also outlined the course of action if there is a change in President-elect, and when Presidential and congressional terms begin and end.
The delegates at the Constitutional Convention did not address election, commencement, and inauguration dates in the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution only requires that Congress meet once a year to discuss the condition of the country.

We are wrapping up our celebration of Black History Month. Today's post comes from Hailey Philbin.
On a sunny day in 1944, young Sara Jackson walked along the noisy DC streets right into the National Archives and asked for a job.
It wasn't very often that someone walked in from the street asking for a job at the National Archives. It was even less often, and practically unknown, for a black woman to do that.
Sara Dunlap Jackson graduated with a degree in sociology from John C. Smith College in 1943. Although her goal had initially been to become a social worker, her first college-graduate job was teaching the fourth grade. Continue reading
Leon Poyner: Supporting the Archives for 25 Years
The National Archives History Office continues to highlight past employees in celebration of Black History Month.
Leon Poyner began his career at the National Archives as a chauffeur in 1936. He worked his way up to Transportation Manager and ultimately Chief of Archival Services in the Archives Handling Branch.
Harold Pinkett: An Archivist and Scholar
The National Archives History Office continues to celebrate Black History Month with stories of former employees. Today's post comes from Kaitlin Errickson.
Dr. Harold Pinkett established many firsts for African Americans at both the National Archives and in the field of archival studies. His career was impressive and exceptional, and bridged the archival and historical communities.
Harold Pinkett was born on April 7, 1914, in Salisbury, Maryland. He attended Morgan College (now Morgan State University), where he graduated summa cum laude in 1935, and three years later he earned his M.A. in history from the University of Pennsylvania. Continue reading
James D. Walker: Lone Messenger to International Genealogist
In celebration of Black History Month the National Archives History Office is sharing stories of African American former employees and their influence on the institution. Today's post comes from Kirsten Dillon.
James "Jimmy" Dent Walker, born June 9, 1928, in Washington, DC, was a well-known genealogical consultant at the National Archives. During his career, Walker built up the National Archives' public standing as a place for genealogical research. He was particularly noted for his knowledge of military and pension records, and his ability to uncover sources important to African American genealogy.
However, Walker had a long and sometimes challenging path to his prominent position.
Walker worked at the National Archives on three separate occasions. The first time he was a self-described "lone messenger" while in high school during World War II. During the war, the National Archives employed people as young as 16 to fill positions vacated by those serving in the military. When the war ended, those fillers, along with Walker, lost their positions to returning veterans.
Walker returned to the National Archives after serving in the Korean War. He had served as a Navy surveyor 2nd class, although Walker said he did "everything but survey." His time in the Navy was marked by working in different positions when called upon and moving up in the ranks. By the time he was discharged from the Navy in 1951, Walker was the highest ranking enlisted man and fifth-highest surveyor in the Navy. In his own words, he had "come up from the bottom of the heap."
This trend continued during Walker's time at the National Archives. He returned in October 1951 as a messenger in the Central Reference Office, the same position he held years earlier. After a year and half, he was transferred to the Industrial Records Branch and ultimately promoted to the Old Army Records Branch in the military division.
Although Walker was a valuable staff member, he began to face challenges from within the National Archives.
In his new role as a technician, Walker was greeted by a formal protest from his co-workers, who felt that Walker was not qualified for the job since he held no degree. According to Walker, he and other black employees often had supervisors who tried to prevent the promotion of minorities within the Archives. Walker recalled talking to other African American workers who felt they would never be recognized for their work or promoted simply because of their race.
Walker, however, decided not to let adverse situations "dictate his conduct or actions."
In time, Walker was promoted to supervisor of the Military Service Section. He continued to demonstrate his distinct work ethic, learning the records inside and out, wherever he went.
In 1957 Walker left the National Archives again but ultimately returned for the third, and final time. He was offered a position as research consultant and worked on genealogical research.
At that time, Walker faced disagreements with other Archives staff about the value of genealogical research verses more "scholarly" research.
Then came Roots, Alex Haley's immensely popular 1976 book that traced his ancestry back to a man named Kunta Kinte in Africa. Walker helped Haley with the genealogical research for the novel, and when it was released, the National Archives was flooded with requests for genealogical research material.
Shortly after the premiere of the miniseries based on the book, Walker founded the Afro-American Historical Genealogical Society to promote interest in African American history and genealogy.
In many ways, this was the same work that Walker tried to perform at the National Archives.
Before his time and even during it, Walker stated that the National Archives "considered genealogical research to be akin to sin." But, with help from staff like Walker, the National Archives became one the best places in the country for genealogical research.
In his last position at the National Archives, Walker was transferred back to the military unit and retired in 1979. He went on to work as an archivist in District of Columbia public schools and continued to further his work on genealogical studies, including giving lectures and producing numerous publications.
James Walker's legacy stretches far beyond what he did for genealogical research. In every position he held, he conducted himself professionally yet challenged the institutions that he felt could be improved.
Walker died on October 8, 1993, in Washington, DC.
Walker's recollections are from a recorded oral history interview on March 2, 1985, with Rod Ross at the D.A.R. Building in Washington, DC.
Celebrating Black History Month
Today Pieces of History kicks off a month-long celebration of Black History.
The National Archives has millions of pages of records that document African American history—from blacks serving in the Revolutionary War to the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States.
But behind those stories are the stories of the many African American employees of the National Archives who have worked tirelessly over the years to make those and many more records available to the American public.
Like many government agencies, the National Archives has a checkered past when it comes to hiring and promoting African Americans.
In the early years of the 1930s and 1940s, black employees faced extreme prejudices and were mostly limited to more manual and unskilled behind the scene jobs.
Very few African Americans held professional archivist positions, and those who were able to get those jobs were not promoted at the same pace as their white colleagues.
The Civil Rights era saw black employees begin to make greater gains in securing higher profile positions. Harold Pinkett was promoted to head a branch at the National Archives, and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library selected J. C. James as the first black director of a Presidential library.
Over the course of Black History Month, the National Archives History Office will be exploring the stories of Harold Pinkett, Leon Poyner, James Walker, and other African Americans who have worked at the National Archives.
We will offer insight into their experiences working at the National Archives, and their important contributions to the history of our agency.
Visit Prologue to read more articles by National Archives staff and others who explore the depth and breadth of material in the National Archives related to African American history.

My husband is in the military and we are PCSing to Mayport-Jacksonville in the spring. I have two kids, one in elementary school and one in middle school/junior high. My husband has said he doesn't mind a longer commute if it means a better education for the kids. Unfortunately, I haven't heard great things about the Jacksonville schools and I've been looking in all the surrounding cities/counties. I've heard good things about Yulee. I've been checking out Orange Park. St. John's schools look good, but I heard they're becoming overcrowded. Low crime & awesome schools is what I'm looking for...can someone weigh in please?

Your best bet to get the real scoop is to talk to either your ombudsman or your sponsor or your CO's wife. My DH was career military and we always had a sponsor before arriving at a new duty station and they were a wealth of information that you just won't get from anyone else.

Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro dumb question
May 4, 2010
Excuse me if the question is too basic, I am just getting started with Macros.
I recently bought a Sigma 150mm f2.8 Macro. However, I found that I get f2.8 only when the distance scale on the lens is set to infinity. At all other distances, I get less than f2.8 (at least with the limited testing).
Can someone clarify what's the deal here?

Eat your heart out, Tiger Mom! Playful Dolphin Dads make children smarter AND happier, says top parenting expert
- Harvard-educated researcher Shawn Achor is one of the world's leading experts on the connection between happiness and success
- Says that the 'tiger' approach of working hard to achieve happiness is 'scientifically backward', and parents should focus on helping kids be positive instead
A leading happiness researcher has claimed that playful dolphins parents are a better model for parents than take-no-prisoners tigers.
Shawn Achor. who teaches at Wharton School of Business, believes that the dolphin's combination of sociability and playfulness makes kids smarter and happier than criticism, the New York Daily News reports.
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom author Amy Chan famously advocated no
TV and no tolerance for grades below 'A' in her 2011 bestseller.
Dolphin dad: Happiness lecturer Shawn Achor believes that encouragement is more crucial to a child's success than criticism (posed by models)
But Mr Achor believes that building a positive mental state is the real key to a child's success.
'Most companies and schools follow this formula: if you work harder, you will be more successful, and then you will be happy,' he writes. 'This formula is scientifically backward.'
Instead, he believes that parents should focus on first building positive psychology for their kids so that success will follow.
Celebrity parents: Dolphin dads like Hugh Jackman (left) and Brad Pitt (right) seem adopt a relaxed and playful approach rather than rigid rules when out and about with their kids
His research has been validated by a study in the Asian American Journal of Psychology, which showed that a tiger parenting profile was associated with lower GPA and less of a sense of family obligation that children who had supportive parents.
Happiness researcher: Mr Achor claims that parents should mimic the playful dolphin
Another study shows that tiger kids also face more academic pressure, more depressive symptoms, and a greater sense of alienation.
Mr Achor believes in making learning fun.
So rather than waiting to reward a kid for finishing his homework, for example, he recommends letting him wear his favorite pajamas while he studies.
He also suggests modeling optimism to children by aiming for a ratio of five positive interactions to every negative one.
Mr Achor says that being positive isn't about being delusional.
He suggests using 'rational optimism' to examine multiple options and navigate among them to pick the best.
When facing challenges, he says that reminding them of past achievements - such as giving them a trophy before a competition - can help them stay positive and focused.
And instead of being overly harsh, he recommends setting kids up for success.
So, he says, a parent who wants her child to exercise more should hide the remote and put her in sneakers so she's ready to get moving.
He believes that parents should consciously working at being happier.
'While it takes more cognitive processing to be happier, the more that
you do these positive habits, the more that you switch your default,' he says.
- A positive, rationally optimistic attitude will help you realistically assess the options for your child to achieve the best possible outcome.
- Smile - it causes a mirroring reaction in others.
- Remind your child of past achievements, for example by giving him a trophy, to help him face future challenges.
- Try to maintain a ration of five positive interactions for every one negative one.
- Model optimism every day by giving thanks at the dinner table.
- Set your child up for success. If you want her to exercise more, try hiding the TV remote and putting her sneakers by the door.

Hola all!! We will be spending 5 nights( or longer)
next June at Bosque Del Cabo for the get-together.
We have 10 days in Costa Rica and were wondering if
it would be worth visiting Playa Nicuesa after Bosque. Are
they different enough to warrant the trip? Anyone have comments
or criticisms of PlayaNicuesa?

Bosque Del Cabo and Playa Nicuesa
Hola all!! We will be spending 5 nights( or longer)
Report Abuse
Playa Nicuesa is one of the amazing Hotels in Costa Rica. Quiet and in harmony with the huge Nature of the area. I spent 3 night there, yoga at mornings was the great experience in my life.
Report Abuse
I was underwhelmed personally. The cabinas themselves, very nice. The food & staff were good too. My main criticism is the location and the trails. As you probably know it's only accessible by boat. So there is a thin strip of black sand and then the forest. I felt a little hemmed in. This wouldn't have been so bad if I'd had lots of good trails, but did not. Now granted, this was several years ago, so maybe they have changed, I don't know. But when I attempted to go on the couple of trails, they were so poor I almost got lost. So I paid for a guide to go out with me. So I then paid for him to get lost with me as well. So again, the lodge, staff, cabinas etc were all very nice, I was just put out by the maintenance of the trails.
Report Abuse
Tully, I'm surprised you were underwhelmed, because, like Danny Traveller, I really like Nicuesa, and never found any problem with their trail or guide system. In a virgin rainforest like that, I'd recommend most folks go out with a guide, anyway.
I also love Bosque del Cabo, another of the most amazing hotels in Costa Rica.
If you're already doing 5 or more nights at Bosque, there's probably not enough difference in terms of activities/ecosystem between Bosque and Nicuesa to warrant staying at both.
Instead, I'd say try Arenal/La Fortuna or Monteverde, or a beach in Guanacaste or Nicoya...
Report Abuse
tully, that's good information, as that's one aspect that's high priority for me (and I'm sure many other BdC fans)as well.
Happy Halloween, All!

I'm doing a long stay at Bosque. Muchas gracias all and happy

Eliot, your name is familiar... Did you not author
some guide books on Costa Rica??
Report Abuse
Eliot, I've stayed at Bosque 12 times, so maybe I compare too much. But I did find Nicuesa's trails pretty poor. (Again w/the disclaimer that it's been 5-7 years, can't recall exactly, so maybe they've put more effort into the trails). One of the main pluses of Bosque is that I can go out and do all their trails without a guide. To me, no matter where I go in CR, is always a huge selling point.
Report Abuse
crlover, are you driving down? I think you said you were. Have you looked at Danta Corcovado? It's on the way to PJ. Another place you look into is Rio Magnolia, about 45 minutes or so from the crossroads at Dominical.
Report Abuse
Hola Tully, we thought we'd fly down this time.
You really don't need a car at Bosque, so it's really
just an unnecessary expense. However, I did check
out your suggestions and both places look fabulous!
Good fodder for another trip! How many days are you
staying at Bosque, and when do you arrive?
Report Abuse
I'll be there the same time as you crlover. I will arrive to CR 8 days beforehand, no plan yet, need to get my trip to Nicaragua in a couple weeks out of the way first! I will be driving down though I think, dropping off at in PJ before I go to Bosque.

Down Pat
Even the most accomplished guitarists do a double take when they hear Pat Donohue on A Prairie Home Companion, where the versatile finger-style picker has masterfully performed in the shadow of host Garrison Keillor for at least a decade. Donohue can finesse anything acoustic jazz, blues, folk, you name it in his understated way, and to see him perform live is both revelatory and simply delightful. A former Denverite who honed his singular self-taught skills here before hightailing it back to his home town of St. Paul, Minnesota, to gig with Keillor, Donohue is always welcome when he comes back to the Mile High City for a concert.
That time has come again: Donohue takes the stage tonight at 8 p.m. at Swallow Hill Music Hall, 71 East Yale Avenue. Colorado Celtic band the Beth Leachman Trio opens; for tickets, $21 to $24, go to www.swallowhill.com or call 303-777-1003.
