      a very good autobio of Kenny life. Appreciated the realistic challenges of being a touring musician and the balance needed between music and other recreational activities as well as what can happen to married couples when music career is the prime thing in life.
    • 5/5
      I listened to this book while recovering in hospital and I felt all emotions. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I felt sad. The other thing was that I could not stop. It felt like a rollercoaster rides with it ups and downs and all arounds. Kenny’s honest and humble nature comes across in his story which is contrasted with his worldwide success and tremendous money earned over his career. How he lived his life and kept balance as best he could by finding alternative interests in Tennis and photography. A great read indeed.
