This product website had an entire page about Kevin Randall, whose name is what KR stands for, his musical interests and about the products he promotes. Back in the ‘60s, when he was just a child he had the chance of being exposed to a lot of wonderful music. The website article explains that Randall’s brother would play all the great Beatles records, the Rolling Stones ones, also Led Zeppelin records and so on and so forth.

He confessed that he still remembered how much he liked the Beatles 'Rubber Soul' LP,'Revolver' and 'Abby Road' and how he would listen to “A Day in Life” in the car with his mom, on the radio, back in 1967. Those were the times before the FM radio became widespread. Randall says that as a child The Rolling stones were one of his favorite bands and he especially liked their album 'Aftermath & Through the past, darkly'.

However, the only band he saw in the 60s was Iron Butterfly, whom he once saw rehearsing on a flatbed truck nearby his grade school. Randall’s older brother, Scott, went to the Miami Pop Festival and later told his little brother about how great Jimi Hendrix had been. Randall joked about never forgiving his brother for not having taken him to see Jimi Hendrix. At the time, Randall had been completely mesmerized by the sound of Jimi Hendrix’ music; especially by 'Crosstown traffic' and the 'Star Spangled Banner'.

A funny memory of Randall’s was about how he would play in the sandbox, around the age of 10 thinking about and humming “The Who” live at Leeds. The article continues with Randall’s memories about how in 1974 his older brother Mark gave him 3 cassette tapes with music of various styles: The Rolling Stones-'More hot rocks big hits & fazed cookies', Rare Earth-'Get Ready'(live album) and The Plastic Ono Band - 'Live Peace in Toronto'. He said he also loved “2000 Light Years from Home”, featuring Brian Jones, the first rock star guitarist Randall wanted to be like.

The article also said that according to Randall, it was Brian Jones’ talent and musicianship that helped The Rolling Stones become the classics that they are today. When years later Randall joined Brian’s fan club, his membership number coincided with the grave plot number where Brian had been buried in Cheltenham, England. Many of Randall’s musician friends didn’t believe the story at first and they later said that the coincidence was very spooky.

Moreover, when Randall became obsessed by Jimi Hendrix’s music he decided to get everything he could by that artist. So there was a discrepancy between Randall’s tastes in matters of music, which were more prone to the music of the late 60 and early 70s and everyone else’s, as most people were deep into disco at that time. The first pedal Randall had ever got was a 70’s Thomas Organ cry Baby Wah Wah pedal. Fortunately enough, it was not working right so Randall had to spend some time fixing it in order to be able to get any satisfaction out of using it. That was when he became passionate about it. In the article he explains how he basically spent the 80’s learning everything there was to be learned about wiring guitars and about pedals. He became a master of vintage pedals, which made his mother say that her son should have been born 20 years in advance.

In 1994, Randall was introduced to Hendrix’s father by Herb Johnson Jr., who had been acquainted to Mr.Hendrix from the 70’s and who had met Randall one year before. Randall remembers how Mr. Hendrix influenced him, what a down to earth and generous person the artist was and how he missed his personality. He remained in touch with Mr. Hendrix up until he passed away in 2002.
