    Kenton is my wife’s good friend. I know him and I’ve heard him sing in person. All I can say is he’s literally never off key. He’s the best singer I’ve ever heard. And he’s a total sweetheart. Kenton if you see this, Alexa and I love you and I listen to this cover like everyday, and always tear up!
    Your biggest fan,
