Thanks Kenny for a wonderful concert at the Jaeb Theater in Tampa.

What a pleasure for my wife and I to hear you perform live after having enjoyed your albums since the 70's.

In my mind, it's a rare talent who can take the stage with just his instrument and his voice - no band, no back-up - then play and sing and enthrall an audience for an hour and a half they way you did Monday night.

The intimate, "up-close and personal" venue just made it that much more enjoyable. Hope you'll be back in our area sometime again soon.

Wishing you much continued success and a very Merry Christmas.

PS: During your set you mentioned what an influence Joao Gilberto was for you early on... have you ever considered doing a full album of Brazilian / Bossa music? That would be really great... I would think one of the Jazz labels (at least one with brains...do they exist?) would be interested in recording and promoting that...
