Kevin, My very first Story Telling event. Jonesborough, 2008. What a great event punctuated by your exuberance in your telling. We, my wife and I, loved each and every story you told. You are truly a master. My goal now is to get a story telling event going around my area. I’ve contacted my son, executive director of the Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History, Jackson, Michigan about hosting an event in his grand room there. I understand there is an event in Jackson. It is my hope they can grow it.
Thanks again for making our first trip to Jonesborough a memorable event.

Hi Kevin,

As we sadly climbed back into the car in Jonesborough for the trip home we knew exactly what to do to make us feel better – pop in Your CD! And that we did and laughed like crazy all the way up route 81. When it was over we had some quiet time to reflect on your humor, wisdom,and incredible ability to be as good on a CD as you are in person (not everyone can do that). Can’t wait for next year.
Thank you, Kevin, for sharing. Judy P.

Kevin:

You don’t know me, but I feel like have have known you for most of my adult life, as my (future) wife at the time was your first grade teacher, and WOW, did she ever rave about you. Our daugher, Christine Nelson Karki, was also a product of Park Brook School and then a theatre major at Gustavus being mentored, of course, by Rob Gardner. She is an avid fan of yours. She and her husband, Tom, are presently doing quite a bit of work with MMT.

I was deeply moved by your book, “The Dog Says How!” At one point laughing my head off, and then in other places being moved to tears. Your unwillingness to allow your accident injuries to control your life is truly inspirational to me.

I must admit I loved your references to Mike Damyonovich and Ed Sand as well as Rod Felber. All of whom I know quite well.

Keep up the wonderful work, Kevin, and Thanks so much!

I have just finished reading The Dog Says How, and I must tell you that I think you are an incredible storyteller! I’ve heard you tell stories on NPR, so I could hear your voice as I read each piece. Having lived in Minneapolis for my first 40 years, I was especially captivated by your story about your brother’s bachelor party, where you all end up at a Twin’s game. What a way to keep the crowd involved at a ball game, and what a sweet ending with our beloved Kirby Puckett saluting you! Keep sharing your talent with the world!

HI Kevin – Just saw your 19 minute film, it was great. I just noted your last name and I am into genealogy and am curious, I had a uncle Wayne Kling married to a Beda (Larson) King here in Minneapolis. He is buried at Fort Snelling Cemetary. They had one child Mary Charlotte (Kling) O’Grady. Just wondering if you are a cousin to my cousins.

So: I am shuffling around, moving things in my studio/workroom/general repository and my copy of Lloyd’s Prayer pops off the shelf. I have just finished re-reading it and reliving the fun I had playing it at the Phoenix Theatre in the early spring of 1989. And now I am eager to read The Dog Says How and hear your music.

Be amazed, indeed.

My sister passed along two of your CD’s for our trip from MN to CO (19 hours, two days). My daughters (11 and were with me as we travelled two days in the car. When the DVD wasn’t playing for the girls, I begged them to listen to the CD’s with me. We all were laughing and had a great time. You are a wonderful story teller! We loved the story about driving in the car to your grandmothers for christmas.
Thanks for sharing your gift! We look forward to seeing you at the State Fair!

Kevin,

Just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you on your audio book. We have listened to the edited read and it sounds terrific! Highbridge has listened and they are pleased. Frank Randle recorded some guitar bumpers for the in between chapters and we will add them this week and be completely done with the project.
Again, thanks for the opportunity and we look forward to another project! It was a hoot
