As I sort of indicated, "others' mileage may vary" on Donald. I haven't seem him play for a bunch of years, but saw him often in 1993-96, some in Seattle and some elsewhere, and generally he was pretty good and had a couple stellar sets.
And of course I've had no business dealings with him so I can't speak to that. Donald always was one to get a strong reaction . . . one way or the other! fh
