The healthy being craves an occasional wildness, a jolt from normality, a sharpening of the edge of appetite, his own little festival of the Saturnalia, a brief excursion from his way of life.
- Robert Maclver
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.
We are an instrument of love. The melody is drawn out of the instrument, and the sound goes out into the world, moving past our own perceptions. The orchestra plays the melody, with all of the musicians working together. They all play their instruments at the same time. The music that the entire orchestra makes sounds harmonious. But we cant separate out individual instruments as we listen. Love is the whole; its the orchestra, the music, the listener, the sound. It is the conductor, those who dance to it and everyone who enjoys it.

Ken was born on the island of Trinidad, the birthplace of the Steel Drum, and performed with Casablanca, Syncopators, Starlift and Phase2 before relocating to the coral islands of Bermuda.
Opening for names like Roberta Flack, Jose Feliciano, Angela Bofil, Earl Klugh, The Manhattans, Gerald Albright and Najee, Ken played professionally on the night club circuit in Bermuda for fifteen years. He has also enjoyed entertaining extensively on cruise ships sailing out of American waters to foreign ports of call, and has performed in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and throughout the United States, where he now resides.
He currently plays special events on the private party circuit in the States. Latin, Soca and Reggae with some jazz overtones are the prominent sounds of his vast repertoire.
Listening to Ken Greene's music, you can close your eyes and feel that tropical breeze, hear the soft sounds of the waves and smell the sweet subtle scent of exotic blossoms, altogether an enjoyable journey through the imagination.
