Hello Les,
Truth be told, cocaine will make an edgy jerk out of anyone. On that night, it was my
turn to be that edgy guy. I got out of the fast lane around 1981, as it wasn't improving
the quality of my life, and put me in a dark place.
All in all, the music carried me through the storm, and I am grateful to still be standing.
We're getting ready to sign with label, and record a new album. Yup, ... I still call them
albums.
Have a great holiday season, and be safe and well.
Kenny

there a couple wks. before you). After you'd done a couple tunes, someone yelled from
the back, "We can't hear you back here!" You answered, "We're doing the best we can".
You were kinda edgy back then, probly weary from the road, saying, "I do 1 album a yr.,
then play the @#$% out of it. It's been that way for a long time, folks" (word for word
account, according to my photographic memory for conversation). Just wanted to let you
know that the guy who yelled wasn't trying to give you a hard time. When Feliciano was
there, he asked the people in the back if they could hear ok. Well, I'm sure you don't
remember (& nobody else does, either); but, I wanted to tell you, that night, what that
was about, as you seemed a little bummed for the 1st part of your set. So, I've fullfilled
my longtime, self-imposed obligation. (8^>)
