Hi guys,
Regarding Ken, I don't have any problems with Ken, he was a good
songwriter, versatile
Musician. His songwriting did give Heep their identity,
Was he the best performer in Heep. No.
Was his song writing enough to put them on top. No.
In my opinion David Byron and Gary Thain turned his lyrics and music into
magic.

I can't blame anyone in particular for the bad marriage, but in my opinion
it's too bad the divorce didn't happen after Wonderworld for everyone sake
.
In my opinion the song writing and lack of enthusiasm wasn't there.
I'm sure everyone can say there is a few songs here and there that shined,
but not enough to propel them forward.
The songs were just getting too soft and Kens synth work was a killer.
The only complaint I have is Ken and Bron controlling the sound board and
not letting Box shine,
This is why I enjoy Outsider so much . I've been waiting for that many
years!!
Cheers,
Don
