<p>So very sad to read this. He was one of my all time favorites. I always felt that Side One of his “Inside” LP was maybe the best single side of any LP I owned. </p>

<p>If you’re unfamiliar with his brilliancy I can personally recommend the album “Silver Morning” some of the coolest guitar and scatting by a guy…ever! I don’t think he ever had a “huge” following (at least not by my peers) but a cult following for sure.</p>

<p>RIP. May his memory be for a blessing.</p>

<p>“Silver Morning” was one of my favorite albums when I was in college. I played it often.</p>

<p>I saw this a couple of days ago…very sad.</p>

<p>Silver Morning has been out of print for some time, but I see it is available in MP3 on Amazon. Paul McCartney was a big fan of his Beatles covers. Download “Blackbird” (or find it on youtube) to hear Kenny’s interpretive genius.</p>

<p>If anyone has the lyrics to the song Silver Morning (or could lead me to them) would you send me a PM? The song is fitting for a friend about to lose a long time friend to illness.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
