Our brother in law, Kenny, wears many, many hats. Yes, he's known as the fearless tattooed goldsmith who's a bit nutso for his little doggie Roxy, but did you also know that he's also a talented musician with a big heart? (awwwwwwww...) Recently Kenny took a Saturday off from his jeweler's bench... he put down his torch and picked up his drum sticks for an afternoon of music for kids.
Twice a year, Kenny partners with other musicians in the area to hold an afternoon jam session where anyone is welcome to try out an instrument and rock a little. Kids of all ages and experience show up with nothing at all, the instruments and equipment are all provided for them, and by the end of the afternoon are on stage playing two songs with a pick up band. The jam session begins and ends with a frank discussion about drugs and alcohol where the message is; music is cool no matter what... you don't need to do drugs to rock in a band. We agree.
