Kenny's terrific! I played with him one one in SA (I was on guitar) when I was in town playing a 'Patsy' show a few years ago.
Kenny's Emmons is perhaps the ugliest steel I ever saw - a dirty pea-green push/pull. I recall that he plays 'Day' set up. He's an off-the-wall player - lots of energy and an unusual approach.
San Antonio isn't short of fine steel-players - while I was in town for ten days I was the worst player there!!!

My pal Kenny is a great guy and great steel player! I talked to him just a few days ago on the phone. And yep - that green push-pull ain't gonna win no beauty contests, but it sounds great under Kenny's hands.  JC |

| I'm jealous. I've never had the honor or pleasure of hearing him play. His son married my niece, Jackie, so I guess we're somehow related. Played at their wedding, I understand. A hall full of some of the best, put on a real show. Sorry I missed it. I've heard he is awesome. |

| Kenny has been playing with the Rocky King Band for most of 2012, and their song selection of dancehall/Western Swing gives him ample opportunity to showcase his steel! http://www.rockykingband.com/dates_2.html |

Kenny played with Jason Allen in the West of France this year and 2 years ago.
Really a nice man and a really good player.
