It has been a decade since the Grammy-nominated ‘Live in Chicago’ captured the ferocity of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band’s live performance. Since then the multi-platinum selling Shepherd has gone from strength to strength, releasing four studio albums and touring the world over several times - from Brazil to Europe, India to Canada and US to Australia and beyond. The calls have been coming for a long time explains Shepherd. "People have been asking us to do a live concert video forever, for decades," he explains. "We've been working so much focussing on studio recordings. But I've been hearing the call from the fans for many years now," and, as live music has come to a standstill, the band wanted to give the fans a taste once again of that experience and this blistering set shows them in full force. The band was only a couple of weeks into ‘The Traveler World Tour’ when the Covid-19 pandemic broke, and the world came to a standstill. The show took place at the famous Leverkusen Jazzstage for the iconic German TV show, Rockpalast on November 25th, 2019. ‘The Traveler’ was released in May last year, giving the band their 8th US Billboard Blues #1 album, when they hit the road. . The seven-piece band took the stage and immediately launched into their most-recent hit-single 'Woman Like You,' with the honey-soaked powerhouse voice of Noah Hunt blasting "I ain't looking for a one time girl" backed by the fiery fretwork of Shepherd. While Kenny has had six #1 rock tracks and a slew of top ten songs, no show would be complete without the mega-hit 'Blue on Black' – taken from the bands second album, it spent an incredible 42 weeks on the US Billboard Rock Charts on its release, winning the Rock Track of the Year which now has over 25m streams and became a 2019 smash when Shepherd collaborated with some friends. “That’s the song that we cannot, not walk out onto the stage and play,” says the Louisiana guitarist. “I’ve been playing that song for more than 20 years, and I still enjoy playing it. As a songwriter it’s the song that you hope you can write. It’s a timeless song that doesn’t really seem to age.” The release of ‘Straight To You: Live’ comes during a time when there is no live music and the world looks a very different place. As The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band bow out on a phenomenal finale of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Voodoo Child (Slight Return),’ they wave goodbye to the cheering Leverkusen crowd and it reignites that love of live music and the hope that is to come.

On Saturday, October 5th, 1996, in Sioux City, Iowa, Marie Harker had plans to meet up with her 34-year-old son Kenneth. She and him often spoke as her son had suffered from a traumatic brain injury in the years prior. A severe car accident had left the man disabled, unable to keep a full-time job, and having to relearn how to walk and talk again. While Kenny, which he was often called, had been working for several years to regain his independence, he had only recently moved out and lived on his own. He had worked hard for his freedom, so Marie tried not to worry when he was a no show to their meeting. She convinced herself that he must've forgotten and was probably with friends. Little did Marie know, Kenny's white 1977 Chevrolet Suburban had just been found by one of the Plymouth County Officers and marked as abandoned. The vehicle was located on K-42, with its doors open, the tires were flat, and it was out of gas. In the days following, Marie tried several times to contact her son, doing so on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. While she knew deep down, something wasn't right; she didn't want to intrude on her son, who had worked so diligently to take care of himself again. She decided to try again tomorrow, but unbeknownst to her at that moment, Kenneth's truck was being towed away to the spot where it was found abandoned.This is the case of Kenneth Harker.If you know anything regarding the case of Kenneth Harker, you can contact the Sioux City Police Department at 712-279-6365.Follow us on Instagram @theantimmclub.Happy Halloween, Everyone xxSOURCES:https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/4491?navhttps://iowacoldcases.org/case-summaries/kenneth-harker/http://charleyproject.org/case/kenneth-william-harkerhttp://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1461dmia.htmlInterview quotes via: Kenneth Harker | Iowa Cold Cases. https://iowacoldcases.org/case-summaries/kenneth-harker/
I met Tom while living with my mother in-law. He was so nice and gave recycled computers to Kenny from his computer repair store. It started Kenny on a path to do computer flipping as a side business. We stayed in touch with Tom, with a possibility of Kenny doing some interning for him. I bumped into Tom again when he was on the Chamber webinar where I taught the "9 Mistakes in Disinfecting". Tom was really impressed and wanted to have me speak on the topic in a local business owner's group. We stayed in touch as COVID slowed. He invited us over as he had more recycled computers for Kenny. I've been very grateful that Tom thought of my son and helping a budding computer entrepreneur. I showed up with my son a few days later during a podcast recording day. I was dressed in shorts and a tank top. While Kenny was rummaging through computers, Tom mentioned that he was interested in getting a cleaning quote down the road. Of course, I told him we could set it up. But as Kenny took his time, Tom said. "Would you like to see it now?" I was not in professional dress and told Tom that I felt funny. He laughed and took me around the building. I took notes and promised to get some quotes out to him. When I saw the bathroom, I felt challenged by the rings in the sink. I knew Kenny wasn't done yet, so I said to Tom. "I'll be right back. I'm going to get the big guns and make this sink look awesome." He didn't argue at all. By the time Kenny was ready, the sink was glistening and Tom was amazed. The rest of our visit at Tom's was very interesting. Tom agreed to allow Kenny to cut videos for his YouTube channel on computer repair for beginners, so we staged a video of Kenny knocking on the back door and Tom letting him in. The video then cuts to Kenny carrying computer parts and monitors out of the store and loading our SUV. He described what and why he was there. During our conversations with Tom, he shared something very interesting after I mentioned a mutual friend in Tom's industry that I just started cleaning for. Tom said this. "He's a MSP. I'm in the break-fix side of the business." He then explained the two business models in his industry and, of course, I related it to cleaning. Tom shared that break-fix businesses deal with smaller companies and have computers dropped off. He can work by appointment, and have a lot more flexibility. Plus he doesn't need many technicians to accomplish the work. It's a small, efficient business with flexibility. Tom explained the MSP (or Managed Service Provider) model like a hospital nursing station, where the company has screens monitoring the computer systems of all their customers in real-time. The MSP must be quick, nimble, on call, and ready to tackle anything that comes their way. They work on a recurring model paid monthly. Tom doesn't have a paid monthly model. He does one-time fixes. However certain customers come in for tune-ups few times a year most likely or have multiple repairs in a year as Tom is "their guy". Tom is the solo cleaner version and Chris is the team cleaner version. Both are excellent as they are different models and appeal to different clients. Tom knows what he is and why he does it. It was so encouraging to connect with a solo cleaner in the computer repair industry. I was also able to sent Tom's proposal two days later and got a "Yes" within 15 minutes! This is a new record for yes-time!Read the rest of this article at the Solo Cleaning School website

In this episode of What's Up Omaha I sit down with my friend, Kenny Cheairs of KNE Films, and we discuss his journey behind the camera. Initially Kenny started out as an artist/entertainer that craved to be in front of the camera, but after loosing his sight in 2005 he had decided that there would have to be a different path for his life. While Kenny still loves to perform he has adjusted his focus on his film and video work. A lot of people may find it odd that someone who is legally blind is a filmographer & videographer, but Kenny is more than comfortable in his new role recently graduating from film school. Kenny's goal in life is to let people know that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and that people with disabilities should be given the same opportunities that others receive.
