The Hello and welcome to South Beach sessions. I'm very excited about this but long time listeners to our show are going to be

super excited about our guests today because it is rare that you get in studio, the most popular selling jazz artist of all time.

A longtime friend of the show, Kenny G, a expert at musical excellence.

We are thrilled to have him here,

to talk about happiness,

to talk about inspiration, to talk about as he approaches 70 years old how he's still hungry, still looks great

at least in part because he loves what he does and spent a couple of hours before

coming in here today practicing it is delightful sir to finally be in person

with you because that is not something that I have done.

We have done before.

Thank you over the years for all the times that you have made your excellence a part of our program.

Thank you for saying that.

This is the same sacks, you know, it's not for saying that. This is the same sacks.

You know, it's not a different one.

This is the one I've had since I was in high school.

So, you know, my big joke is that you blow something for 50 years, you stay together.

I want to talk to you about who you were as a kid because you went to an inner city school,

right?

I did, yeah, in Seattle. It was the junior high was inner city and the high school was inner city.

So it was a good mix of, let's say, about third Asian, third black, third white, and I didn't know any different.

What kind of kid were you?

A very nerd, a big nerds.
