Kenny Foster - "Hometown" (Extended Version) - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

[flyfisherman1997]

You'll have to come and see the Joplin Jazz Band again. They'd love to see you again!

[jynxet70]

Kenny, I really love this song. The video is awesome also. But it is also sad for me... what's left of the white two story house in the video is one of my old houses. It's the one i lived in when both of my grand-daughters were born...so it held dear memories for me! But keep up the good work and i will go on sharing it with my friends and family!!!

[Mrsmcdowell10]

@jynxet70 What house were you? I was right on the corner of 23rd!

[Mrsmcdowell10]

This song touched me! My husband was scheduled to leave for basic training for the army the morning following the tornado. Thankfully they delayed it so that he could help our family. We lost a cousin in the storm and I'm so very thankful to be alive. We were at 23rd and Kentucky and my parents lost everything. I just wanted to tell you thank you because songs like this give us hope!

[jynxet70]

@Mrsmcdowell10 that's where i lived! actually on the 22nd block but right on the corner of 23rd st!! Glad your family made it and sorry for your loss...

is that hannah montana's dad?

[forgottenmaz]

Tornado came out of nowhere, my grandma lost her house where I was always at when I was a kid

[MrRickynshasta]

@forgottenmaz ..same here!! So sad. Everything is gone. Nothing is the same. We can't visit our old memories but we can make new ones!

[richlight100]

This is an incredible song and video! Someone turned me on to this and I shared it on Facebook. Now my friends are posting it on their walls. It makes me tear up everytime I listen. Thank you Kenny!

Very touching. I have family that lives in Joplin, who actually appeared in this video. I remember being VERY scared for them that night, and this video just brings me to tears thinking about it again.

[KennyFosterOFFICIAL]

@shawniegore Well, I'm certainly glad they were around to be in this video.. It was amazing to work with everyone, and be with them, and hear their stories.. I loved doing this..

If you are a "Joplinite" and this video doesn't bring you to tears...you might want to check your heart!! Amazing song and video! Thanks so much Kenny! You were also performing at our football game too!

[KennyFosterOFFICIAL]

@ladyfj64 I loved performing back at Junge.. Took me wayyyy back to a much simpler time.. I know it will return to its former glory very soon..

[snodgrass22]

I'm so proud to know you, Kenny! Your video really said it all for us back home in Joplin. It was beyond words. Thank you so much for doing it.  You are such a talented artist!

[KennyFosterOFFICIAL]

@snodgrass22 And you, are a talented complimenter.. If I could, I'd hire you just to hang out and say nice things to everyone.. I'll look into getting the funds... :)
