My New FAVORITE Podcast

From the first interview I heard (have not had a chance to actually view the podcast) I was hooked…

There are many things I enjoy about Kenny’s podcast, beginning with his boyish-like excitement and enthusiasm for his guests, whether it’s a musician, songwriter or comedian, he seems to be inspired by anyone who chases their dreams and makes it a reality … Inspiration = Motivation … and as he says at the top of every episode “No one is born successful”

Discussing the highs and lows of the music business and the sacrifices it takes to make it through AND survive. The show is serious, funny, deep, enlightening and most of all honest. It has re-inspired me, as a 55-year old Musician & Songwriter to never give up my love or passion for music.

I’ve ALWAYS been a fan of Kenny's playing and dedication to his craft. Getting a deeper insight to him not only as a musician, but as a person, truly showcases his ability to be captivating as a host, and as a fan of others who have succeeded and triumphed in show business.

I can’t wait for the next one… Almost all caught up on all the episodes
