Lefsetz gave it a nice write up. Sounds like an interesting read.

Interesting for sure! Met Kenny at NAMM...was wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers
sweatshirt. I was waiting in line for the mega star table meet and greet with
Vinnie, Gadd, and everyone else there. He talked to me like we were in a bar.
Didn't even notice the line behind me...talkin' football. I actually felt bad for
the guys in line and broke the conversation. Mr Energy.

My old neighbor played with Daryl Stuermer (weird right...drummer moves
next door to another drummer) and he said every gig he went to audition
for Kenny was there...commercial jingle to major act.

Dude is non-stop for 30 years...amazing work ethic and drive.

There are auditions for commercial jingles?

Good point...my neighbor did do a lot of McDonald's commercials.
That's what he said...point being Kenny was a work dog no matter
what his street cred was, he showed up for work and competed
relentlessly...and he is still at it today! Got to admire this ethic.

Lefsetz just posted a bunch of letters he got from people who have worked with Kenny, all positive.

I'm three quarters of the way through it now, and can't recommend it highly enough. What a barnburner of a career Kenny has had. It's really unbelievable, how much energy he has combined with an incredible work ethic. Highly recommended.

Lee Skalr interviewed Kenny...great hang and early insights
to the recording process in the early 80's

I was SO inspired when I read that
Kenny is an EXTREMELY ACCOMPLISHED MALLET PLAYER !
---from many years ago---

It's really unbelievable, how much energy he has combined with an incredible work ethic.

My buddy Mark Torrel who played with Daryl Stuermer said when he went to
an open audition in LA, Kenny was at every one working the room. No matter
what the audition was, Kenny was there.
