Sad news indeed. I got to pass some time with Kenny back in the '70's (I think). He was an all around old time man who endured his handicap with great spirit and surprising activity. He talked about hiking in the mountains by himself all through the night, and I got to share a shorter version around Fresno of 14 miles. He knew every road including which ones to avoid due to vicious dogs. His outlook on music and life was always refreshing - what a gift he was to all musicians needing some personal contact with a real Old Time Musician. Sad news indeed.
