When Did Her Ex-Husband Find That Music Was His True Calling?
Born in Seattle, Washington, to a Jewish family, Kenny was raised alongside his five years old older brother Brian and five years younger sister Paula.
Initially, he took piano lessons in his brother's footsteps but didn't find fun, so he quit two years later.
He was ten when he rented an alto saxophone on the television show "The Ed Sullivan Show,” thinking he could play.
At first, he had no private teacher besides Mr.Bloom, who visited every week to their elementary school. At home, he would play in the bathroom.
He was always one of the best saxophone players in school, but he never knew he would do it until he did a concert in his senior year in high school at 17.
During his first year in high school, he auditioned for jazz but couldn't" make it. However, he didn't stop practicing and started listening to more music.
In his senior year, their high school hired a composer, Jim Gardener, to write songs for the jazz band, who later asked him to join his band of professional musicians.
Through Jim, he later did a concert with Barry White. He got many accolades and awards for his performance.
He knew then that he was going to it, and it made him think he was good enough to be a musician. The rest is history.
