I agree. For me, Kenny was my fall/winter music and it was the music that reminded me of my first love in the late seventies. He was the ultimate mellow, romantic, jazzy, and classical performer all rolled in one.

The interviewer commented on it, and suggested that the beauty of his music had prompted such emotional reactions. Paul differed, saying that while the audience liked his songs, the response was to a place where a song was heard, or to a person who was attached to the song, or to feelings the person was now remembering, triggered by the song.
