Craig Shoemaker Instagram – Last night, a guest of @thekennyloggins – his final shows of a stellar 55 career.
So surreal. Was often moved, thinking back to when I was a kid in comedy, and this music master took me on tour w/him, back when communication was pen/paper/pay phones, and high tech was a smoke machine!
I suddenly went from playing smoky clubs (yes kids, REAL stink-smoke, not vape), traveling w/a crew & band, a huge departure from the solo destination dash of a standup comic.
A tour manager, and a group of guys to play with, try out material. When we hit the Neil Simon Theatre, a band member became ill, Kenny asked me to learn the bass notes over dinner, and I sang backup for a week on Broadway! Crazy…
Amazing concert last night, w/all the hits. Such a prolific writer, gifted vocalist.
I believe he belongs in the songwriters Hall of Fame. Countless hit songs. Google it. There are 80s soundtrack hits like, “I’m Alright,” and “Footloose,” but much more. Celebrate Me Home was ethereal astounding last night.
I’d like to plant seeds here. If you think @thekennyloggins should be in the Songwriters Hall of Fame – gimme a YES in the comments. Tell all to vote here. I’ll get it to the chiefs in charge. Celebrate him home – to the HOF.
Kenny is reading this. Thank him with a vote, for a career to remember.
