Hi Kevin- It was a real pleasure to meet You, and have a Photo taken with you by your Lady. Heard your Music 04/27 @Cannery Row whilst visiting Monterey from UK. Bought 5 cd's on the spot. Loved every Track that I have since played. My musical taste is wide & varied, but your talent is outstanding, and I have at last found ' My favourite genre'. Keep up this unique contribution to the Arts, which I am introducing to my Family & Friends in 'Olde England' p.s Apart from the following cd's Style/Jazz/Cool/Groove/ & Breeze what am I missing as an ardent Fan! Stay 'Cool' Maestro!

I am listening to your CD now at work, I just bought it from you this past memorial Day. It is the one that says "monterey Groove!' and I love it. I have gone to Cannery Row several times to listen to you.. it is so enjoyable. Your wife is an Angel too!. See you soon.I am hooked on listening to you and being able to have the ocean atmosphere at the same time. l

Kevin,
As a local resident, there is nothing I enjoy more than inviting one of my dance partners or a group of dancers to Cannery Row to dance rhumba, bolero, cha cha, salsa, hustle, or swing to your music. Thank you for playing at my birthday dance and making that evening so special.

Dear Kevin,
The first time I heard your music & met you, was Jan 12, 2008. I was in town for two reasons. That day was my Birthday and also the 19th Anniversay of my husband's passing.
I'm sure you don't remember me, but I was pretty down in spirits and hearing your music helped to bring me up some. Later, on the way home, your music brought me "out of it" even more. Now, it brings makes me feel good all the time......thank you!
I want to say, that I enjoyed meeting your wife too. She somehow realized there was more to my mood, and acknowleged this in a special way. She may remember, and I'd like to say thank you once more, it meant alot to me. I'm not just saying that, I mean it.
Ok, on to brighter things!
I caught you two as you were leaving earlier this month (April 2008) and was very disappointed. Kevin, you were loading up the van, so I just had to go up to you to let you know how much I liked your music. You were very nice and also gave me your business card. I pulled that out today, to visit your website.
Now, I have your calendar of events and will catch you playing as often as possible!
Monterey is my "happy place" as it is, so seeing you and your beautiful wife when I get there will make my visit even better.
I wish you much success Kevin. With your wife by your side in support of you and your talent, you'll go even further! Be happy for many, many years.......
Sincerely,
Vicky

I saw you in Monterey last Sunday for the first time and was instantly hooked on your music. My cousin bought a couple of your cd's and we listened to them when we got back to the beach house we rented. What great background music to visit to. I'm home now and had to order a few myself. Thanks.

Hi Kevin, We watched you play last weekend, I'm very impressed with your keyboard skills, I'm a pro guitarist, and thought I'd drop you a line and say thanks for making our day a LOT brighter. You have a great talent...what are you doing there busking?? :) I'm sure it pays better than the club gigs around there...ain't music a miserable profession? But..what a wonderful passion. All the best to you my friend. Mick

Dearest Kevin,
Hello. I am 80 young and hearing you play makes me feel something special.
I grew up in South Carolina. My family was very poor and we could never afford the luxury of a record player or records. But I always managed to hear a few tunes, on the radio, whenever I went to the general store. When I came to California to persue a career as a showgirl in 1946, music was the thing that mattered most. I listened and listened and listened to as much music as I could get my hands on.
When I married James [may he rest in peace], we always loved and enjoyed music together and it could always be heard in our small beachside appartment.
When we first heard you on Cannary Row last year, we were spell bound. You had the talent and the charisma to really impress us. And that takes a lot.
Since then, James has passed, but I have enjoyed coming alone to Cannery Row to listen to you play. It has been the highlight of my days for a long time.
I wish you the very best in your career and life.
Sometime when you're playing, take a look around, and if you happen to see an old woman in a pink floral hat, come over and say hello.
That would make my day.
I'll be seeing you,
Velma

I heard you the first time on our anniversary Aug. 3rd and bought 2 CD's and you signed the CD, Monterey Cool. We came back 2 weeks later and I picked up the other 3 CD's. I love your talent on the keytar. You're an awesome musician. We look forward to seeing you again.

I was in Monterey with my girlfriend this past weekend. On our way to the aquarium we saw Kevin performing. His live performance is awesome and full of energy! The fish were okay... but I'd prefer to get my $25 bucks back from the aquarium and buy a CD from this guy. I don't think there is a living soul out there that can rock the keytar the way Kevin does.
Thank you for making our first time in Monterey so enjoyable!!!
I encourage everyone to check him on iTunes.

Hi
Some weekends ago my lady and our 6 yo niece heard you playing. I purchased your CD, Monterey Groove, and have shared it with a co-worker. He and I think you are fantastic. Your Roland AX7 is a hard find. I have tried bidding on ebay for one and have lost. The price for a used one is high 750 - 1000. I'm a guitar player but your instrument intrigues me. Keep playing and I wish you sucess, you deserve it.

Hi Kevin,
We brought a few kids from our H.S. youth group to Laguna Seca for the Spirit West Coast Music Festival and had to come to Monterey due to my wife Marcia being hostipolized. We stopped to eat at the Fish Hopper and heard you playing. Your music took away the tension the necessity of the "extra stop" brought on (for me). I took a picture with you on our 4 high schoolers which they asked to put on the youth room wall! We came back Sunday with my wife (who is doing better now) on our way back home and one of the boys picked up your Cool! cd. Thanks for sharing your gift and making our trip that much more special!

Hi Kevin,
My family and I went to see the Hearst Castle and decieded
to go to the Monterey Aquarium
on the way home. I am sorry to say that we were disappointed with the aquarium.
We have been to a lot of acquariums, and Monterey was not up to par. Much to our surprise we were walking back from the acquarium when we heard this incredible Jazz Music. I had to find out where it wa coming from. When I saw you playing, I was totally amazed. Your're awsome. I sat and listened as you played, and I must say I really loved your music. I am a lover of Jazz and you blew me away. I was also amazed to see my 12 year old son enjoying your music as well. He even said you were an amazing musician and he loved your music. My wife was bolwn away too. Thank you for making was started to be a disappointing day turn into the highlight of our vacation.
We listened to your CD Monterey Style on the way home, and loved it. We're going to try to come back to Monterey to see you performe again. Thank you so very much.
The James Familly.

Hello Kevin,
Heard you at Monterey a month or so ago. My wife and three children enjoyed your jazz. After playing on the beach all day it was nice to listen to you music. We bought your cd, "Monterey Breeze". I have a cafe in Mariposa near Yosemite and I play it all the time. My customers enjoy it too. I remember it was when the bay had that spill and the fire department made every one get out of the area... I am sure you remember that!!
Take care and hope to see you there again
