Gggggggg's Baaaaack!

Kenny G is back at Ontario's Nationwide event to take up a spot that could be used by someone trying to make a living at this nutty game. But as Jill Painter reports, Kenny's got an album to plug.

Kenny G used to own a plus-.6 handicap, but he's played only four or five rounds this year. He has used 2007 to focus on music and will release an album - "Rhythm and Romance" - on Valentine's Day next year. It's his first Latin album.

"I'm super excited," said Kenny G, who's sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. "When I made my first Christmas record, I made it because I couldn't find a Christmas record I liked. It's the same thing with the Latin record. There were a lot that I liked but not a lot I could put on and get into a certain vibe.

"This is very romantic and very rhythmical. It has a lot more tempo than most records I've done."

That's saying a lot.

The tempo of his golf swing isn't Kenny G's only thing this week. He was scheduled to play a charity concert Tuesday night as part of the week's golf activities.

"I'm totally flattered they think I can add some value to the tournament," he said. "My music performance raises money for charity, and I'm good enough (golfer) to not embarrass them by using a sponsor's exemption."

Wow, and you thought the last Monday charity event you played in was a long day. Imagine 6 hours at Empire Lakes followed by a Kenny G concert?

A funny foursome, Kenny G, M.Bolton. Huey lewis. Guy from Hootie. That right there is the downfall of western culture.

I would love to play Kenny for a pile of that cash at what he claims to be his handicap. +6 is tour player stuff, he can't play to a 1 from the back tees anywhere.

[QED]

Dud, it's 2009 and not the 1980's any longer, time to loose the hair. Besides, you are going to be 53 this year, even Michael Bolton has lost his seaweed hair style.

While your at it, drop the muzak, it all sounds the same!
