Re: [Harp-L] the bottom line on Kenny G, to me

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

My favorite Kenny G parody/comments is in a monologue by Mike Birbiglia - a 
 very funny comedian who is a favorite of NPR This American Life. Check out 
his  comedy CD's.

While I  don't disagree with the bulk of the comments made by my friend Rob 
P and  others, here's what is, to me, the crux of the issue: Kenny G added 
his own  playing to a classic recording by perhaps the greatest musician of 
the 20th  century... a legend who, crucially, was no longer around to 
approve or  disapprove.  To me, that's just an overwhelmingly appalling act that  
overshadows pretty much anything else the guy might do, good or bad.  (I  
don't know if Armstrong's estate or representatives approved it or not, but to 
 me, it makes no difference whatsoever.  It's just a mind-boggling act of  
disrespect.)

Just my dos pesitos.
