"Oh, it's time to light the fires in the garbage cans as we warm up our hands. It's five-part harmony time! It's the Motown Corner," he announces, old school radio-style, in a self-shot video on the air on RADIOLEX before raising his hands and rocking out to the music.
There was no mistaking the indelible voice of Patrick J Mitchell. A product of Henry Clay High School and Kentucky State, Mitchell went on to become well-known in Lexington for his stage plays, standup comedy, and activism.
In addition, Mitchell enjoyed having a camera in hand and worked as a photographer as well.
"These are terms. They sound tricky. They sound intimidating, but they're not that bad. Take my word for it," he advises in a photography explainer, one of the first videos that pops up on YouTube if you search his name.
In fact, a quick scan of his social media offers a sample of his wide-ranging interests and engaging personality that made him a staple on the arts scene in Lexington.
RADIOLEX will be putting together a tribute to Mitchell and his show, The Kiss of Lyfe, next Friday from 1-6 p.m.
Mitchell was 66.
