Americana roots rocker and singer songwriter Kenn Morr
may not stand out in a crowd yet, but he is writing songs
that could become part of American musical culture.
As the drummer with JJ Cale, these songs sounded pleasantly
familiar poetically and the delivery sincere, and as irresistible
as the reluctant legend from Tulsa himself. I sense the same
humility and musical integrity in him as Cale, who retains a
quiet on stage demeanor that allows the music to speak for
itself. We also have crossed paths with Kenn on his musical
journey with legendary producer Bob Johnston, who
recorded my former boss, Charlie Daniels on Dylan's
Nashville recordings. He has also been compared to Leonard
Cohen who took Daniels on his first European tour years
before we made a name for ourselves.
Kenn plays guitar, piano, mandolin, lap steel, harmonica and
has even produced himself in his own home studio. He pulled
off an impressive first runnerup status in my Sonicbids
"Best Song In The World Competition", and this round
was stiff as Richard Nixon. Humble and well grounded,
he may back peddle the notion, but his songs rate up there
with tunes from Music City's finest writers. The Connecticut

troubadour has the rare ability to chart what appears to be familiar territory but taking a fresh new
path. His latest CD Move On, is unique, the lyrics universal and his vocal delivery comparable to
Gordon Lightfoot and Tom Petty at the top of their game. Kenn's vocal patterns are guarded,
genuine, original and intriguing. He seems to have an unending well of melodies that echo purpose
and evoke deep thought and a well balanced laid back approach to life and song. I appreciate an
unconventional style with conviction; Kenn along with his band are a pleasant and interesting
combination. The songs from his fourth CD Move On, are honest and personal and seem to be
from a kindler gentler place than where we live today. It takes masterful lyrics and thought
provoking topics to take the audience on that trip.Kenn has an eclectic style that successfully
blends jazz, rock, country, folk and countless other colors. I first saw Kenn on YouTube, and
flashed back to seeing a young Donovan opening for Yes. Donovan also trekked back and forth to
Nashville in the early days and cut several singles on small labels before radio gave him the
proverbial nod. Kenn is radio ready, now he has to let radio jump on his bandwagon. JJ Cale says
do what you do best and let your audience come around to you. I will advise Kenn to enjoy the
family and the mountain foothill scenery before record companies and promoters start pounding on
his door with corporate sponsored deals and a year long itinerary. The power to realize your
dreams are in your hands and in your songs. If you follow the music, all the rest will follow.
Congratulations and much success. Artists of your caliber is what makes it all worthwhile for me to
participate and throw in my two cents!

| Chuck Alger-Burrows October 12, 1955 - February 19, 2010 Chuck with Leon Russell at the Bluebird Theater in Denver Colorado on May 31, 2006. Chuck, a former disc jockey (on satellite radio) moved here from Colorado with his wife Carol a few years ago. Both Chuck & Carol were huge Leon Russell fans, even meeting each other at a Leon Russell birthday event. In fact, we all met because of legendary singer Leon Russell. They stayed at my house for several days until finding an apartment in Nashville. We got together from time to time. Chuck played guitar & sung at the Tennessee Concerts "Play It Again Jam." Unfortunately, I recently got the news that Chuck had past away. In memory of Chuck we plan to go see Leon Russell at his upcoming Third & Lindsley show.

For me, it's always been about rock
music of all kinds - progressive,
alternative, industrial/electronica,
modern, etc. I've always liked the
boldness and energy of it. I also had
to look at myself and realize that I was
a classically trained violinist, so how
do I fit those together? That's
basically been my approach for the
years I've been playing the electric
violin - how to be innovative and
creative about fitting the violin into
rock music. It took awhile, but I've
developed my own style. I love just
plugging into the Marshall stack, using
heavy distortion and old school
psychedelic effects, and going out
there to blow people's heads off
(figuratively, of course!). At the same
time, I've always respected high
quality musicianship, and so I try to
find a balance of the rock vibe with
some subtledy and strong
musicianship. It's not a traditional
musical act that will likely appeal to
everyone in the mainstream public, but
for those looking for something that's
not "cookie cutter" or the same old
thing, I think I have a lot to offer them!

is a musician with a creative and
innovative approach to the electric
violin. James has adapted his classical
training to significantly change the
violin’s sound, capabilities, and
applications and has been influenced
specifically by a innovative rock
guitarists, Jimi Hendrix, Vernon Reid,
John McLaughlin, and Dave Navarro.
Playing through a Marshall half-stack

sounds ranging from clean melody

AMISH GRACE - Based On A True Story
I had a chance to preview Amish Grace, a new movie to be shown on the Lifetime
Movie Network on Sunday March 28 at 7pm central time. This is a true story based
on the 2006 shooting at a Pennsylvania Amish school house that left five innocent
girls dead and others injured. What happened next stunned the country when the
Amish forgave the shooter and offered their prayers and support to his widow.
Amish Grace stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Brad Paisley's wife) as Ida Graber,
an Amish mother who must cope with the loss of her daughter in the shooting. The
film follows Ida's personal journey as she struggles between her faith and her heart,
tempted to leave the only life she's ever known. As Ida copes with her shattered
life, the shooter's widow Amy Roberts (Emmy Award-winner Tammy Blanchard),
is riddled with guilt. The two mothers dealing with the aftermath of an unthinkable
tragedy summon - through their unbearable grief - the ability to reach a level of
compassion they didn't know they had. This is a very emotional movie. I highly
recommend watching this movie on March 28, 2010 at 8pm E.T. / 7pm CST
Thanks to the Lifetime Movie Network for the opportunity to preview this movie.

I had a chance to preview Amish Grace, a new movie to be shown on the Lifetime
Movie Network on Sunday March 28 at 7pm central time. This is a true story based
on the 2006 shooting at a Pennsylvania Amish school house that left five innocent
girls dead and others injured. What happened next stunned the country when the
Amish forgave the shooter and offered their prayers and support to his widow.
Amish Grace stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Brad Paisley's wife) as Ida Graber,
an Amish mother who must cope with the loss of her daughter in the shooting. The
film follows Ida's personal journey as she struggles between her faith and her heart,
tempted to leave the only life she's ever known. As Ida copes with her shattered
life, the shooter's widow Amy Roberts (Emmy Award-winner Tammy Blanchard),
is riddled with guilt. The two mothers dealing with the aftermath of an unthinkable
tragedy summon - through their unbearable grief - the ability to reach a level of
compassion they didn't know they had. This is a very emotional movie. I highly
recommend watching this movie on March 28, 2010 at 8pm E.T. / 7pm CST
