Kenny is a delight in every way. His stories, his playing, he's just a wonderfully enjoyable person.

I don't think younger people can really appreciate just how "from another dimension" that record was in 1967, ... like a portal beyond the known universe, cool post guys, Cheers!

As a college freshman at the University of Missouri I drove 100 miles to see him play at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis. Snagged a great black and white poster of Jimi and hung it inside my closet at the fraternity house where I was a pledge. A red neck member of the fraternity called me up to my room, threw open my closet door, and sneered at me "WHAT is that?" I replied, "HE is the greatest guitar player in world." I de-pledged the fraternity the next week. ✌❤

I saw Hendrix in '68 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. I was 14 and it was my first concert. Jimi blew me away. He that night became my life-long "Hero".

51yrs old and been a Jimi Hendrix fan my entire life. Great stories from Kenny who himself has made his own mark. Kenny's a cool cat himself!!!!

Jimi is the reason I took up the guitar at age 9. A friend of my mom's left 4 records at our house: axis, Live At Monterey, Best of Cream and Zappa's We're Only In it For the Money. It was a fabulous foundation.

Hendrix is my favorite musician I am a complete fanatic and have been for 40 years.This dude right here gives the best possible description of what I have always felt was Hendrix true personality.thank you Kenny!

[captainsouth]

Kenny is da man! We go see Marty and Superlatives every time they are nearby! One of the best live acts around!

"Hey man, I need that $20 back..."😂😂😂

Getting to see Captain Beefheart, Soft Machine, Hendrix and the Doors within a couple of weeks... there was something very special about the music scene of that time

[ChorusArtists]

Kenny is a rare gem, a first person testifier of important history, much of which few others saw. He seems like he'd be a fantastic hang, and I thank him for sharing all his great stories.

Hendrix influenced so many guitarists, and his music has been played so much that he has been mainstreamed. It is hard to imagine what it would have been like hearing Jimi for the first time when he came on the scene, and listening to him doing things that had never been done before. It must have been like seeing an alien land and start playing guitar. Jimi paid his dues and was a great traditional blues player, but he really took it to the next level and pushed the envelope with his own music.

As a lefty, playing guitar, born in the 60s- there was only one star in my sky. Jimi changed my life- Completely... ✌️🎸

[_Peremalfait]

Kenny is always interesting to listen to, one of those musicians that appreciates music across multiple genres. Here's a guy whose favorite band was Soft Machine and ended up a country music player. That's quite a musical journey.

I was 15 yrs old in 67’ when I saw that lp screaming at me from record rack. I brought it hope and my life changed in a milla second! I never looked back after that. Great story. 🖖🚀

[mikegunter]

I got the opportunity to meet Kenny and shake his hand at the Shakori Hills Music Festival in Pittsboro, NC last night!!! What a totally memorable moment!!! Kenny is one of the nicest, most gracious, down to earth guys you will EVER meet!!!! He is just a regular guy that can play the hell out of a I still cant believe I got to shake that magical right hand!!! That memory will be with me for the rest of my days!!!

[MrDallman]

One things for sure, there will never be another….the untouchable, unparalleled and totally unique JMH.

[marklwest]

Kenny's ability to recall small details from decades ago is astounding!

[Alex]

I'm so happy that you did another interview with Kenny! I hope you have much more to come!

At 40 years of age, I can honestly say that Jimi never had a chance to grow up. Lord only knows what he could’ve achieved sonically if he would’ve lived longer. He was something truly special. Kenny is such a great and funny storyteller. Great work Otis
