81 and still has gas in the tank. He's done a lot of stuff you instantly recognize and a lot more you might not. Truly one of the key contributors to the soundtrack of our lives.

🎂Happy 81st Al Kooper🎂
Even if he'd never done anything else (and he's done allot), just being the guy who showed up at a Dylan session hoping to play guitar but was not needed, and then slyly slipping behind the organ to play one of the most recognized parts on Like A Rolling Stone , is enough to assure a place in music history.
Hear isolated (no vocal) tracks from that session here >

Remember the Jetsons? One of the most fun and inventive takes on the memorable Hoyt Curtain theme song. Enjoy!

We're living in a time when our heroes are channeled by gifted artists who conjure the emotions we felt back when we saw the acts live. I admit that this version of the Del Shannon classic, "Runaway," rendered a few tears. Excellent production, great chirography and talented musicians. Enjoy!

Runaway is a Del Shannon classic from 1961 that features a keys solo by Max Crook on his own invention, the clavioline-based electric keyboard called a Musit...

Thank you, Lauren Rautenkranz, for keeping Kenner listeners on top of today’s weather! The Keenerverse deserves the best, so we went out and got the best. She’s a great Facebook follow. 

I had so much fun today sharing a couple of weather updates with Keener 13, a Detroit-based radio station you can listen to from anywhere! 🌦️

Weather storytelling has always been a passion of mine and it felt great to get back into it in a different way. If you ever need a forecast breakdown or professional weather expertise for an event or project, I’d love to help— just send a message my way!

Excited to see where this new adventure might lead. 🌟

Way back, when Pontiacs were built in Pontiac:
Pontiac GTOs rolling down the assembly line in Pontiac in 1964. As an option for the LeMans, GM brass predicted no more than 5000 units would sell. By the end of the model year, over 32,000 GTOs had been built, and the muscle car era began.

One of those TV theme songs that most of us in the Keener Generation know all or part of :)
