Irish! 🙌🫡🦆 you are awesome!

[@jphayward2011]

Sir, you are a stellar interviewer. Much appreciated.

[@tomdallas3690]

Kenny G represents the magic and potential of the human spirit and condition. In a way, like he says, he might be wired this way, so there is a little bit of luck involved, but my goodness, he has the magic, and imagine what the world would be like if more people were like Kenny G. Much respect, and I selfishly hope to feel as good as him one day, even for a minute. There are times I have been close, but this guy is blessed.

[@level-UpwithKatina-vb1jo]

Kenny G is simply the greatest of all time ❤he has my heart- nothing compares to this man - my guy and love his magical - mesmerizing tunes ❤❤just forever in love.

[@volynciatamola5546]

Wow! I am so impressed and have listened several times. WOW! is all I can say❤

I had zero expectations for this interview, but really glad I watched it.

[@LeBatardShow]

Thanks for watching. We're glad too.

[@justind2899]

Incredible interview. This highlights the truth behind his success. He loves and honors the process; not the result. Thank you for doing this interview.

[@soniaberton9253]

Best interview!! Loved it🥰🥰🥰

[@tomdallas3690]

Brilliant question by Dan when he asked about Kenny's relationship with his father, when Kenny said it was great until the very end. Just brilliant the way he phrased it. Everyone watching had to be thinking....please ask Kenny about the end, and then Dan asked it. Thank you.

[@ГалинаДубинская-ц2я]

Kenny is my favorite musician! Every day I start with his music! It makes me happy and alive! I always wanted to say a big thank you to Kenny for the music! It's incredible!!!❤️

Amazing interview

[@tomdallas3690]

The way he described flying in the clouds was stunning and amazing.

No need for perfection. You are better than . Love you, Julie❤

[@davelyew4645]

Wow! Two of my favorite celebrities just chilling with each other. This could have gone on for a couple more hours and I'd still be asking for more. I met Kenny in person in Ft. Lauderdale just before Covid shutdown the world and he's fantastic and genuine just as you see him here. A few years after he did a small tribute for my dad on his passing that brought our whole family to tears. Although my dad was more a Neil Diamond fan Kenny stood up instead and sent a wonderful tribute making our whole family a fan, joining me, who have been a fan for almost 40 years. Can't wait for the book and catch him on tour again. Seeing him in Ft. Lauderdale and back in Jamaica are some of the biggest highlights in my life. Great job Dan as usual. You are the Kenny G of interviewers! Hope I get to meet you in person as well as a fellow South Floridian.

[@jimferris6069]

Feel free to have Kenny on every week. Always a great listen!

[@FreeFoodforthePoor]

Like Rob Zombie’s movies and Dave Matthews’ wine, if it puts off their making awful music, I’m all for it!

Talk to you tomorrow?

That was a really good south beach session thank you both for that

[@LeBatardShow]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidrichards4451]

This may be the best interview that I have ever listened to in my 55 years. Thank you both.

[@LeBatardShow]

High praise! Thank you for watching!

[@IrishWeegee]

Absolutely adore Kenny G, grew up listening to his "Miracles" album during the holidays and hearing his sax again takes me back to those warm memories. Loved his reaction at 1:42:03 of Dan even asking if he's ever dropped his flute 😂

[@Susanita579]

I don’t know what my expectations were (they probably weren’t great) for this interview but this was a great SBS. I came away from this confronting my own presuppositions about people. Thank you for this!

[@marjoe32]

Amazing interview G was one of my heros as a sax kid

[@binodbaiju8228]

Amazing interview. Always a huge fan of his Sax playing.

[@tonallimaya4084]

It took me SO LONG to “get the show” and get Dan. But, man, I love this guy.

[@BennyLava19]

"Hey Kenny, do it at the superbowl!" Stugotz voice

[@jnicemint]

Saw him perform at the ‘Jazz and Blues Festival’ at the ‘James Bond Beach’ in Jamaica circa 2000. He used a table as the stage and literally ‘blew’ them away

[@alexsuarez4530]

You should see the dedication Kenny had in the game of golf. He became a + handicap through hard ass work!

[@denimchicken420]

Awesome interview. Dan reminds me of my therapist and Kenny is cool AF. Thank you Dan! Thank you Dan! Thank you Dan!

[@alansanchez3810]

[@davidellis5141]

He inspired the naming of a section in a record store .. New Age.

[@FreeFoodforthePoor]

I thought the section inspired by Kenny G was called Whites Only.

I don’t really like south beach sessions… but this is amazing! A great man, seems so genuine and so just a true bright light.

He'd look better if he cut that hair. Shorter hair makes a person look younger.

Dan thought he was hitting with the south beach 😂

Great dude. Great words but what do you think he means by that Danno??!

Kenny G is like Bizzaro Sampson. All the same super powers , just comes off differently .

I'm interested in if he thinks he's the best saxophonist and if not why HE is the chosen one. Fairy dust I suppose.

[@CapitalP177]

When I was a kid, I thought Kenny G was black.

Who wouldn't? Kenny G and Warren G have the same last name, so....

Dye job

[@themarlawnpodcastnetwork]

He’s probably double your age and it seems you may already be using the comb over method… he still has a youthful energetic personality and the gleam in his eyes still remains… can’t dismiss his youthful Ora with a throwaway dye job comment…
