A tale of two Kenny G’s
My initial introduction to this podcast is this discussion on the title bar. Gotta admit I was drawn in by how you were gonna squeeze this lemon. I never quite understood the vitriol spouted by Metheny on the first Kenny G, so good on you for a successful clickbait. . Thanks for the honest discussion on both! I had forgotten the “necrophilia” incident with the Louis Armstrong tune. I now have a better understanding of Pat’s vitriol.
