Am happy to hear and listen to you singing again... have been thinking about your song uploads and wondering why the silence and ooooops! there you go... i got some psychic skills and similar events in the past have proven it... thanks for uploading and sharing.

@felixbautista Hi, Felix! Thanks so much! You are very kind. I've been keeping busy here in Texas with a few singing gigs (not enough, though...I need more!) and my PR consulting business, for which I'm trying to find new clients. This bad U.S. economy has me struggling a bit, but I continue to push as much as possible. As always, thank you for listening to my music. And I'm glad you have psychic powers! Please send more my way!!! Best, Ken

Kevin, my dear Kevin.. I simply LOVE when you send me a new song. I LOVE.

Your voice is so tender and you sing so lovely, thanks. It is a candy to my ears.

I hope that someday you can do a concert here in Brazil.

Kisses in your smile from your Brazilian fan, Giballin G.

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@gbllnglbrt Hi, Giballin! You are so nice and I thank you for your very sweet message! I would love to sing in Brazil someday! Perhaps I will be fortunate and be able to do that - and to meet you one day!  Many, many thanks! A big hug to you, Ken

[SergioVellatti]

That was real sharp, Ken!

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@SergioVellatti Hi, Sergio! Thank you! I know it's an old tape - nearly 12 years old - but it's fun to share these earlier performances with my You Tube friends. Thanks for watching and commenting! -- Ken

Nice treatment of the great Johnny Mercer material. While listening I was reminded of the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and an earlier flick from the 40s, "Laura."

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@bostonblakie Hi there! I love that movie "Midnight" -and I mentioned it at the end of the performance here. I read the book and saw the movie back then - and I remember loving all the Mercer songs that played throughout the film. And "Laura" is just a fabulous classic! Thanks for the kind comment and stay in touch! Best, Ken

[PrisonerBob]

wow Ken, just blowing us away with this!!!!! the versatility needed in these 3 songs is simply outstanding, you never cease to impress and entertain sir!!!! hats off to my favorite crooner, that'd be you :)

[SanAntonioCrooner]

@PrisonerBob Thank you, Bob! Your words are too kind, as usual! But I appreciate them so much! I'm having fun pulling out these old tapes and posting them. I hope to tape some performances coming up this year so that they are more representative of how I sound (and look!) now! Meanwhile, thanks a million for your continuing support and encouragement!

[Shabannie]
