Kenny Aronoff

"I will never forget saving up my money from gardening and mowing lawns at age 13 to buy a Shure 57 microphone so the lead singer in the band I was playing in had a cool mic to sing into.  I had my parents bring me to Manny's Music in NYC to buy that mic. That was an unforgettable and amazing experience."
