Kenny Wayne (Shepherd?)
Posted By Alan Cohen in Soundcheck on January 1, 2006
One area that we really hope to cover over the next few months at TexasGigs is the great blues heritage we have here in Dallas. It is something that I am particularly interested in, so very soon after joining the team here I began researching blues musicians that have made Dallas their home. That is when I came across the legendary Kenny Wayne. I immediately wanted to meet this Dallas blues icon, so I sent him an e-mail to see if he would be interested in letting us interview him about his career in music. His reply was the greatest e-mail I have ever received in my entire life. Here it is in its entirety:
Hey Alan;
Hell yeah I'm interested; that is if you're not Bull Shittin' my ego
and if it ain't gonna' cost me anything?
I'd be very honored!
However I'm wonderin' if you're not confusin' me with
an almost same named "Fortunate Son" of a Top Rock
FM-Radio Station Gen. Mg./Music Director and Major Artist Concert
Promoter" ["Shot Gun Ken Shephard" real name Kenneth Wayne
Brobst, Sr.} and who's also his Jr. Boy's Mgr.! I'm talkin' 'bout
"The Little Non-Sangin' Little Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Licks
Note Fer' Note Copy Cat" outta' Blanchard, LouzyAnnie who at the
ripe old non-dues ever paid age of 17, AND usin' "MY over 37 years legal
copyrighted trademark International Recording/Singer/Song Writer/Musician
name," "KENNY WAYNE" and NOT using NO Bogus last name "Shephard!"
confused the head Starplex's Mgr./Booker/promoter and stole my
CO-Starrin' In Concert gig on the "BB King"/"Allman Bros./"The Aligator
Records Blues All Stars Blues Fest" at The Coke Cola Starplex
back in 1993; Who was and still is Illegally usin' My Legal Copyrighted
Trade Name in ALL facets of ALL Music (ALL Styles Of Music) Business
Related ventures by usin' the name "KENNY WAYNE coupled with
the Bogus last name "Shepherd!" And who's real name is,"Kenneth
Wayne Brobst, Jr.!"

Although I have responded to him several times, I have not heard back from Kenny Wayne since receiving this glorious e-mail. Kenny, if you are out there, I want you to know that there is not a single person I would rather have come to the TexasGigs studio for an interview. There is only one Kenny Wayne, and you are he.
