Kenny, I was one of the folks who came to the first set at Yoshi's and stayed on for the second set. After the end of the 2nd set, I was in the lobby thanking you profusely while you flew by to embrace the 2 women who you called your "daughters" :-) and then thanked them for pulling one more song out of you (I was also grateful for that!). Like Dennis, I also saw you every time you played anywhere in the Bay Area (including the Boarding House) in the day. My sister Peg, who bought one of your CD's that night (I provided the $$$ as my contribution) had called me Wednesday to invite me to come to Yoshi's. She is a HUGE fan and we both had such a great time - as Dennis wrote below, "enthralled" is a very good description. My memory of the last time I had seen you was in a larger venue, and it was so special to really feel like I spent time with you (and all the other people there) at a smaller place like Yoshi's. When you started to play and sing, it was truly like no time had passed, except for a deeper, more mature, richer quality to your music. So it was even better!!! Thank you again and again. Best wishes to you and *you* stay safe and be well!

>Kenny, I just saw your early set at Yoshi's and was as enthralled with your artistry as I was the first time I saw you at The Boarding House in 1975. I used to see you in San Francisco everytime you played here, and although I was never disappointed in your music, I felt kind of gypped that you never talked much to the audience. Tonight you were so warm and personable and your voice was so beautiful, I fell in love with you all over again. Thanks for a great evening. I hope I have many more opportunities to see you perform. > >--Dennis
