THE FEARLESS FLYERS /// Kenni and the Jets

[@Seb2323]

Why is Grace not wearing her Aviators!? Isn't that unsafe for flying at such funky altitudes?

[@andie_pants]

She's a fearless flyer. :-P

I love how much everyone smiles when Kenni is playing

[@gustafsone]

He is always such a joy to watch and if you haven't seen it already, go check out "Live From MLPS" on Cory Wong's channel. It''s a full concert recording and it's amazing! Kenni, and the rest of the Hornheads, is a beast and he even breaks out a Piccolo to taunt Cory right in his face which was hilarious and awesome.

[@RetroPlus]

He's incredible with that medium sax

[@cordovlogs]

Finally, a bass line that I can play.

[@ansonjeng]

heavy quarter note feel on the Vulf/Charles Jones “Baby I Don’t Know” always reminded me of this song. FF giving me so much life today

I see Elton John can ghostwrite tunes for funk bands, in addition to owning a football club. What a talent.
