••Want to HEAR an example of Ken's work?••
• Check out webcast replays of the ORACLE 11g launch.
The webcast audio was fed by Ken's record feed during the event, so that a separate webcast console and operator were not necessary.
• Check out the amazing DEAN KAMEN's talk at TEDMED 2009, where Ken was doing the sound in the room as well as providing a record feed to videotape (as usual) that ended up on the iTunes store (this link might not take you directly to that particular video...if not, please scroll down to Dean Kamen talking about wounded soldiers).
There are also a number of other presentations from TEDMED 2009 on the iTunes store. Ken did audio for the event, so all of them are representative of his work.

1. He was the first to mix sound for a public concert at the (now famous) Meadowlands Stadium in NJ, as he was mixing for the very first opening act of the first show there, The Stanky Brown Group. What year was that? 1978?

2. He did the sound for (and made the only recording of) the funeral of Frank Sinatra.

3. While he was mixing front-of-house for Barry Manilow, he was the first to mix sound at a few new concert facilities, among them The Rosemont Theatre near Chicago, The Pond in Anaheim and The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

4. Also while he was mixing front-of-house for Barry Manilow, he was the last to mix sound at some concert facilities, among them the New Haven Coliseum in New Haven, CT and the Sunrise Theatre in Sunrise, FL.
