The next Kenny?

If you surf the St. John sites, you may have seen this video by now, posted originally on the usvi-on-line.com forum by the artist, Gene. Gene and partner Eileen (pictured here at a recent Beach Bar party) have a great new little house in Coral Bay called Blue Caribe, which they put their heart and soul into building.

Gene will strum away on his porch whether anyone is listening or not, and he just posted this original song on YouTube along with a St. John slide show.

We, being the Colonel Parker of St. John, are trying to talk him into giving us a half dozen clean tracks and putting together a CD. We think he might go for it. Anybody want to encourage him? (”I would buy one” would be a very good response.)

    Count me in for one, too.

    But please not the jeep cam music. Hubby, Bill, downloaded and strung together all the jeep cams so that we could take a virtual trip cross island on Easter (made the kids watch too). After an hour or so of jeepcam music…

    I still twitch - but I still watch ‘em.

    Oh my gosh, I’m so in! I’ll definitely buy one, if not more. Would be a great gift for my sis who spends much more time in the islands than me (unfortunately for me…) and is so difficult to buy for. Great idea!
