Dear Kenny,
Just last night, while sitting in a bubblebath with my beloved partner, I watched your DVD EFFORTLESS MASTERY which I happened upon at the Sausalito Public Library.
Your words excited and moved me very much — about the nectar of joy at being played by the music and being the instrument playing the instrument, allowing oneself to be the path through which God gives music to the world, and the way the performer can express gratitude and praise for being here through his playing.
Because so much of what you said resonated for me, I came to your website to send you a thank you note and have now visited many of your links and read more of your thoughts and candid blog posts. I sent your tip about guitar playing to my marvelously talented brother who rarely permits himself expression of the music and visual artistry that course through him because of a heretofor unreleased pre-judgment about its potential imperfection.
And I kept it for myself, too. This computer is my instrument. And I am so grateful to you for the metaphor of approaching it and appreciating it as I did my beloved dog, who used to receive my touch with happiness and who couldn’t wait for me to turn my attention to her. To write this, to feel this, brings me to tears, happy grateful tears as I sense her here beside me now encouraging me to find that joy again in my writing, to know this literary expression flowing through my fingers is the same love in a different form.
Another most fabulous gift your DVD gave me was an awakened appreciation to the type of music you play. I have not, up until now, had an ear nor given time to listen to this sort of jazz. It was thrilling to just let it roll over me and around in my head to envision you and your fellow performers exhalting Divine Experience through your talented hands and breathing and being. What a welcome expansion of my own experience of the world! I’m writing from this page because I’d hoped to have a chance to see you live, but see you were here just weeks ago at Yoshi’s.
I am a writer/screenwriter currently preparing the first of a three-book series speaking from my coign of vantage to the same ends as your book. 53 GAMES FOR THE MIND THAT WON’T SHUT THE #@&* UP! is the first one. Your ideas felt most in harmony with the ideas I am including in the second, THE GREATEST STORY EVERY TOLD…IS YOURS: Re-Discovering and Staying Yourself in a World of Change. The third is DON’T DO AS I DO!: Games of Insight for Kids.
It is my devout wish that not only will I entirely liberate myself into incessant wholeness and joy with these games (the first reason I began compiling them), but that others are freed to be and to love themselves with grace and care, as I feel your work engenders.
With cheerfulness and gratitude, A.T. Lynne
DEAR KENNY
I had the privilege to hear you yesterday in the jazzone lima peru and this experience is still vibrating.
i guess it takes for an artist like you to really be able to LISTEN. but it was such a great lesson for me.not only the way you listen to others on stage;but how you listen to the MUSIC inside you,put yourself in its service and then express it.
what w lesson….
LOVE

Hey Mr Werner,
Thanks for the great music at the victoria Jazz Fest. Very inspiring playing and to hear you in person was a great lesson in relaxed and focused mastery.
Thanks again,
Roy
Kenny, awsome, inspiring, beautiful concert tonight in Toronto ( july 4 2009) killer band too!
Dear Kenny,
I saw your trio at the Regattabar in Boston last night and it was fabulous. I was exhausted and lonely whenI got there, but by the time I left I was ringing with excitement about the music. I sat right behind Antonio Sanchez who blew my socks off!!!! Wow! Thank you and the band for the inspiriation. And please come back soon!
