What does the Sandbar say…
Connie…” I didn’t discover this album until after I saw Kenny in concert in 1999. I love to listen to “A Chance”. This whole album you can here Kenny coming into his own sound. I think he was discovering who he was musically.”
 “Girl, don’t you know it’s all I can do
To keep my hands off of you
Anytime you’re around
An’ when the stars come out at night
I dream of holdin’ you tight
Everytime I lay down”

Michelle… “She’s Got It All”  “I love this song. It is an oldie but goodie and I just have to sing along when I hear it. It is a fun song and fun video and now when I hear it all I think about is how much Kenny’s life and music have changed since then!”

“My heart, my soul, my wishes

All of my love, my hugs, my kisses

Everything that means anything at all

All of my life I’ve spent a hopin’

I could give someone such devotion

Every sweet memory I can recall

She’s got it all”
