>Kenny - >Really enjoyed your performance Wednesday night at Jazz Alley in Seattle. I'm glad we attended the night that we did, since your guitar was temporarily in limbo on Tuesday
night, thanks to Alaska Air. I guess you had to rent one?
>Anyway, I mentioned to someone that I had seen Kenny Rankin last night, and they recalled that their high school choir teacher had talked about you (sometime in the 1980's)
to the class, and the students were asking, "Who's this Kenny Rankin guy?", and the
teacher said, "He's like Billy Joel, but with talent.". I thought that was pretty funny, and
kind of true. Take care.

Hello Larry,
Thanks for coming to Jazz Alley, and I'm glad you had a good time. The guitar I used on
Tuesday, belongs to John Dimitriou. Someone in the audience said it must be like playing
golf with rented clubs. Absolutely true, but I had a lot of fun, and the folks seemed to be
having fun as well.
Regarding the "comment by the music teacher," I couldn't disagree more.
Billy is one of the most gifted and talented musicians in thr world. That his work has
sustained him over all these years, only confirms that. Billy may not be his cup of tea, but
at the end of the day, he can put anyone in a New York State Of Mind!
