Renowned Southeast Kansas musician, Walt Kennett, died last Monday, November 2nd. In his memory, I’m publishing a column that originally ran July 8, 2023. — J.T.K. If, like me, you love music and grew up in Southeast Kansas, you likely know that Walt Kennett played in the best rockabilly and rock n’ roll bands hereabouts in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
