Re: Kenny's Drums ....additional info



Speaking of Kenny jones,... If anyone is curious to see him in a recent
interview,  Watch Rod Stewarts Behind the music.  There are quite a few
clips and old videos with him.
And he complains about how Rod used all the best songs for his solo work.
Sound Familiar?  The same complaint he would make about Pete when he
presented the songs for Face Dances(Pete used most of the better songs for
the album Empty Glass).....And I have to admit in that case he was right.
