bdp- Pat played a little geetar ;-) but mostly mandolin, and a did a lot of backing vocals. Again, what was remarkable about him (and the two other backing musicians), was their ability to add to the experience of the song w/o sticking out. With mandolin a little can go a long way, but he was never over the top, even on the solos. And he had a unique (to me anyways) way of gently strumming with all of his fingers that produced a feathery kind of sound that I have never heard from a mandolin. Plus his physical style was so expressive; truly a man who loved what he was doing.
