"Kenneth Wallace Ford was as close to a true renaissance man as ever there could be.
In addition to making his living as a professional musician and artist he also made a professional living as a building
contractor for Jim Walters homes in Canyon Lake, TX.,
carpenter in Blanco, TX., maintenance contractor for Sam Rayburn Property management in Austin, TX., roughneck for Marathon Oil in Jeffrey City, Wyoming (Don't' tell his mother - she thought he was playing piano in a whorehouse!) Wellhousing contractor for Halliburton oil in Kinnear, Wyoming, 2nd hand store manager in Riverton, Wyoming (BackwardBills with the backward L). Manufacturer and salesman of his silversmithing and elkhorn scrimshaw jewelry in every state from and including Canada to Mexico. Pottery kiln builder in the Jocko Valley, Montana. Oil patch worker, carpenter, independent contractor, licensed housing inspector, computer operator. Industrial and fine art welder for ranchers, private property owners and commercial, most recently for Quoffer's Pub in Elgin.... Kenny was all about entertainment no matter what. You could go over to his house anytime (or live with him) and in spite of how exasperating he could be there was no shortage of entertainment. He was driven to create something always, which also included cooking. Montana never knew Texas BBQ till KW arrived. Kenny dedicated his life to his art, music, being an entertainer and living life his own way. He was a SUCCESSFUL man!" GloryB
