Ken and I were friends for 12 years and were in the middle of recording a CD of improvised duets, our favorite thing to play together, write me and I’ll send a copy.<br /><br />Doug RobinsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281246246095218844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-85625981125413913492018-10-30T07:34:25.313-05:002018-10-30T07:34:25.313-05:00Thanks for your condolences.

I believe Kenny was my guitar teacher in Toronto when he lived on Queen Street East. <br />I actually bought an amazing MusicMan 112RD amp from him which I only located recently after it went missing for 20 years. I was doing some internet research for a short documentary film we are planning to make about the missing amp, etc and found this article. I wanted to interview him for it. <br />I think have a great picture of him from back then too if anyone wants a copy let me know. <br /><br />RIP Kenny<br /><br />love <br /><br />kenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-29982580106330700682016-06-27T15:01:14.653-05:002016-06-27T15:01:14.653-05:00Ken was not only a really good guy and a friend, b...Ken was not only a really good guy and a friend, but a professional with irreplaceable skills...<br /><br />Yes, it was quite unexpected. He had a heart attack a few weeks ago, but I just assumed he would recover handily. I had a mild heart attack three years ago and it hasn't slowed me up a bit. But he had other health issues and it was a massive attack in his case and he just didn't make it.Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-69303236114569409522016-06-27T13:20:38.133-05:002016-06-27T13:20:38.133-05:00Bryan, that's so sad.
