Kenneth's Musical Side

Kenneth's Musical Side

Flute

Kenneth bought an old flute, repaired it and learned to play on his own. He went on to learn to play several other musical instruments and later on bought a new flute, which he had to sell during his unemployment years in the 1930s. He never went back to music, which was a pattern of his life: once he had left something he did not return to it.
