    Kenny G represents the magic and potential of the human spirit and condition. In a way, like he says, he might be wired this way, so there is a little bit of luck involved, but my goodness, he has the magic, and imagine what the world would be like if more people were like Kenny G. Much respect, and I selfishly hope to feel as good as him one day, even for a minute. There are times I have been close, but this guy is blessed.

    Brilliant question by Dan when he asked about Kenny's relationship with his father, when Kenny said it was great until the very end. Just brilliant the way he phrased it. Everyone watching had to be thinking....please ask Kenny about the end, and then Dan asked it. Thank you.

    Wow! Two of my favorite celebrities just chilling with each other. This could have gone on for a couple more hours and I'd still be asking for more. I met Kenny in person in Ft. Lauderdale just before Covid shutdown the world and he's fantastic and genuine just as you see him here. A few years after he did a small tribute for my dad on his passing that brought our whole family to tears. Although my dad was more a Neil Diamond fan Kenny stood up instead and sent a wonderful tribute making our whole family a fan, joining me, who have been a fan for almost 40 years. Can't wait for the book and catch him on tour again. Seeing him in Ft. Lauderdale and back in Jamaica are some of the biggest highlights in my life. Great job Dan as usual. You are the Kenny G of interviewers! Hope I get to meet you in person as well as a fellow South Floridian.
