Welcome Paradoxers!
This blogspot will be our new home to share updates on everyone's new cd's, links to music venues, and other activities.
You can also post remembrances, photos, and any other memorabilia you would like to share. It would be great if this could become like an archive for the Paradox -- then and now.
More information to follow as I figure this out. In the meantime, please add your comments and keep the site alive and growing.

Kenny Edwards
Kenny is gravely ill in hospital in Colorado. Please send all the thoughts, prayers and positive energy you can gather his way. You can leave a message or make donations at: http://www.kennyedwards.com/
Thanks Diane, I didn't know who he was, but they auditioned at the Paradox, they wanted more than we could pay, a big $30.00 each.All the guys had the hots for Linda.
We came very close to adding Kenny as a permanent member of the Dirt Band to replace Les Thompson. Kenny spent some time rehearsing with us in Colorado but it just didn't work out. He is truly one of the good guys in the music business and would have been a huge asset to the band.
Linda was the heart of the band, Bob was the brains, and Kenny was the soul. He was sooooo solid that when he played, you didn't have to, leaving you free to punctuate, and pick your shots. The best kind of team player who felt his job was to make someone else look good. He was one of the hangers-out at the Troubadour hoots, and I remember him as being extremely supportive of me. This was at a time when I needed all the support I could get.
Helen, $90 dollars seems cheap today because it is. But to have the purchasing power of that (1967) $90 today, you'd need $583.

Thanks, Gary.
I'm not sure I ever met him, but looking at his site, he was a member of the Stone Ponies, whom I do remember. I hope he is doing okay.

Bad news.
