Still like that old time rock and roll, that kind of music just soothes the soul. — Bob Seeger 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. But I bet you didn’t know his musicianship started out at Horace Mann grade school on the violin, cello, and stand-up bass.
