Ken Joined the US Army during the Viet nam war. He was headed for special forces, and ready to be shipped out. His commanding officer walked by his tent one night and heard him quietly playing his saxophone. He went into the tent and asked him if he could put a band together. Ken Saluted and said "Yes Sir"  told him he could because several of his Army buddies played musical instruments. Thus began his US Army Career.  He never fired a shot, backed up all the greats for USO shows and has received 3 Presidential Citations for his service.
