KENNY LEE LEWIS - Segment Begins At The 35:40 Mark
When you are given the opportunity to interview someone whose music you have listened to for years, you jump. Kenny Lee Lewis has been guitarist/bassist/writer/producer for the Steve Miller Band since 1982. That is a small part of Kenny. He works with many other artists, producing, writing, playing. He teaches music to hungry students. He also works with the native Americans (of which he has ancestry lineage to the Cherokee Nation) to help disabled children and as an advocate to the parents with children in schools. All this came out in our conversation and on top of it all, we listened to music from his latest project entitled Two Ton Kitty.

Peter Parcek'sjourney as a musician began when the Vietnam War erupted and he graduated high school. With the blessings of his mother and the help of a family friend, he relocated to London, England, and found himself in the thick of the British blues explosion. Eventually he was back in the states and continuing to play. We talked about this situation and the many opportunities Peter had to 'study the masters' up close and personal, thus building the stylings he now crafts into music of his own. We listened to a song from the EP and two songs from the album Mathematics Of Love.
