Reminds me of the lame joke where Kenny's tour bus rolls into the ditch after the front wheel shears off. Kenny gets out, surveys the damage and says "You took a fine time to leave me, loose wheel."

Oh, sorry to hear. When he made it big in country I was surprised to realize he started with psychedelia. Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

In case Todd has never heard this.  |

My favorite is Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town) and it isn't even a close contest. But this was a nice one too.
This one reminds me of the summer when Linda Morgan was my girlfriend.

“Ruby, Dont Take Your Love to Town” and “Reuben James” - my two favorites of Kenny’s. I enjoyed the thought provoking lyrics.

There was a small-time musician around Warsaw back in the 70s. The college hired him as entertainment for a small party for freshmen back in '74. After playing a few songs seated on a stool, he stopped and made a great show of balancing himself on the stool as he worked his legs up and into that yoga position where the legs are made into a pretzel knot. Nobody could figure out what he was doing. He then launched into "Ruby...". When he reached the line: "It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent...." he looked down and stopped playing.

Still my favorite KR song. In case Todd has never heard this. Didn't know he was a bass player. |

I listen to Sirius XM, Willie's Roadhouse station, and after all this time I have come to truly appreciate 'You picked a fine time to Leave Me, Lucille."
It is a well told story, and the jerk trying to pick up Lucille gets nowhere. Perfect.

I liked KR. Saw him in concert once, and he put on a good show.
My favorite song of his:

You know, KR was always a little show-bizzy for my tastes, but listening to this track it's so clear that he was a very expressive and talented singer. Plus he was unafraid of playing nylons! |
