Kenny Howes moves to Dallas!

So, um…guess what?
I’m moving to Dallas, Texas!
You see, my honeychile Debonee got a promotion at her day job, which includes relocation to The Lone Star State, and so, off we go!
Dallas, Texas! (It’s almost like one long word, isn’t it? Dallastexas!) The ninth largest city in the USA; no state income tax, and less traffic than SoCal, although every road is a toll road, it seems. Three hours drive from Austin (yay!), and a 3-4 hour flight to pretty much anywhere in the Lower 48. We’ve found a cool ‘30s bungalow on the border of the Bluffview and Greenway Park neighborhoods, five minutes from Love Field, and fifteen minutes from Dealey Plaza.
Unfortunately, the move also calls for my resignation as Sales Director at Rickenbacker.
I started at RIC in 2003, during a very directionless period of my life, and the experience has given me countless opportunities beyond my expectations. I remain proud to play and promote the coolest guitars and basses ever made, and I am equally proud to remain good friends with the company owner John Hall, and his family. We’ve been through a lot!
Obviously, it is equally frightening and exciting to begin a blank-canvas, freelance period, which is what I will do for now. I look forward to both seeing what musical opportunities Texas has to offer, and also to be able to travel more often (maybe to where YOU live!) to play some live music.
My last work day will be Friday, July 30th, and we’ll be leaving a couple of days after that.
So there you have it.
