  1. What about I. K. Multimedia ? Maybe they will take them !😁 Kenny
  2. I love it ! This thread is totally captivating . Kenny
  3. He wrote a mean song about a Benny Kenny
  4. Here is the interview where Kenny Vaughn talks about performing the show from the video you posted and running the Telecasters directly into the amps with no effects pedals . all the best , Kenny
  5. Patches ! Today is your Lucky Day ! I'm in Heat and I made you breakfast in bed ! Kenny
  6. "I say we use water pistols and foam nun-chucks....we don't want people around here to get hurt" Haven't we all heard about Fight Clubs don't talk don't talk don't tell policy ? We on the other hand like to talk about all of our fights because our female referees ( orange tank tops ) are trained to assist and comfort all cf the brawlers . No matter what injuries and fighting skills the fighters may or may not posses has little impact and makes no difference what so ever . Once the fight is over our referees set out to clean up the wreckage of the fight . During the intensive clean up process they have yet to find a fighter with a BO BO they couldn't make feel better once they gave it a little TLC and a Kiss . So Yes ! It's all about love Kenny
  7. I'm old enough to remember this one . Kenny
  8. When it comes to walking the walk ! Lets not forget this one . Kenny
  9. Here's Johnny Smith playing a little song he wrote 😉 His fingers are sure having a relaxing walk all over his guitars fret board Kenny
  10. "Oh, great! Does this mean I have to grow a beard and a poney tail, wear thick glasses, sandals, and tye dye shirts, and smoke weed now? " I read your opening post and musically it seems you have high standards and you have kept an open ear to music ... As far as growing a beard and all that Jazz . Wait until your in your 60's . It wouldn't be fair to all us old folks if you showed up and took all the womenz away from us . 😄 Kenny
  11. I'm glad it made life easier for you . IMHO That article was so hard to navigate .I wound up puting up with the click bait aspect long enough to make the list and I'm glad I did . I'm with most folks here I don't agree with the order and numeric aspect of the rankings some of the guitarist received . It seems The Three Kings made the list 22 Albert King 19 Freddy King 8 B.B. King Then we have some other Kings that made the list 210 Kaki King ? 122 King Sunny Ade 100 Kerry King I am thoroughly convinced that bapu could have easily made the list and earned the respect he greatly deserves for having invented The A minor chord . Yep King Bapu! seems to have a nice ring to it . So does Bapu King ! all the best , Kenny King 🤣
  12. Apparently he is only halfway there . To go full out epic guitar critic of the universe he needs to cross his arms as tight as he can . Then for the maxim effect he can hold the pose until he hyperventilates and looses consciousness .😜 Kenny
  13. If you want to see 80's rock stars . Look in the incontinence supplies aisle of the liqueur store 🤪 Kenny
  14. Wow ! This brings back memories . I haven't talked to either of these two guys in years ... I didn't want to interrupt them😀 Kenny
  15. Put on them knee high water proof boots fellas . Here comes a real tidal wave of a whooper 😁 I wrote this speech way back in the 80's, The thing is back then and up until today , nobody ever voted for me . For Sale cheap ! one unused acceptance speech . Friends , fellow guitar players , and musicians ! Let me say with out hesitation that I accept this great honor of being voted the best guitarist of the 80's I accept this honor with pride , gratitude and a full heart . Most of all I thank you for the confidence you express in me. Today I thank you in words . After today , I hope to translate my appreciation into deeds , and new music worthy of your continued appreciation . Thank you again ! all the best , Kenny PS: strummy ! It's yours for free if you want it. Change a few words here and there and use it as your landslide victory speech in the Honorary Mention section of my thread for your win as the # 251 Greatest Guitarists of all time .😁
  16. 😁 Hey strummy ! The results are in and You have just Won the highly coveted # 251 slot on Kenny's Rolling Stone list by a crushing landslide of twice the votes to the nearest competitor . Congratulations my friend Kenny
  17. I need to come back later and back track on some posts I have just skipped over , in the mean time I have strong feelings about a few excluded guitar players ... George Benson should have been on the list .I don't know what they were thinking excluding him . Wes , and Grant Green were early influences for him yet George took it to a whole other place . Joe Pass not included in the list ! are you kidding me ? Back then the only real emerging innovator on solo jazz guitar was Lenny Breau .....he was a hidden treasure ...very few players knew who he was ...When Joe came out with The Virtuoso series of records his recordings of solo unaccomplished jazz guitar playing literately created a whole new listening experience for fans of Jazz Guitar . Like Andrés Segovia he created a whole new place for the guitar in guitar history . I feel very fortunate to have met him back then and I hung out with him often . He mentored me ...Thank You Joe ! I happen to think Al Di Meola could have easily earned a place on the list had the R S writers took a little Vaseline rubbed it on their necks and pulled their heads out of their butts ...they could have left one of the modern mini skirted bad girl Hoochie coochie mamas off the list to make a place for him When Al Di Meola hit the scene with Chick Corea and Return to Forever back in the 70's man oh man .....the ensemble playing in RTF was seriously off the charts and up until that point even though we had great fusion guitar players in that era ( Holdsworth , Abercrombie , Connors ) Al's playing in RTF occupied a whole other place in fusion because he had the ability and chops to have played effortlessly accurate at crazy tempos all the guitar parts that were not improvised / integral parts of Chicks compositions ....Then when you add Music like this he did from the 70's how can anyone say he doesn't deserve to be on the list .... PS I understand that not every one is into this sort of music but hey I am ( or I was ) Kenny
  18. Knopfler should have gotten a much better placement on the list then what they gave him . Wow ! short and sweet huh! Are you saying a well placed swipe w a zacto knife aimed at the writers sack would have solved most of the errant rankings of this list 🤣 It was about a half hour after Manny's Music had closed and I was organizing a few things in the guitar dept . I got finished up and came around the guitar counter and there he was 🤩 Jeff Beck ! I stood there face to face with him at eye level and then I froze ...I couldn't move a muscle or even get a word out as I was frozen just like Bambi in the head lights . Jeff actually put a little smile on his face I think he thought it was a little funny . To this day , Jeff Beck is the only guitar hero I ever met in real life who struck me totally speechless .. all the best , Kenny
