Oh yeah, he's great. He plays... um, you know, I don't know how many other instruments he plays. A lot. He's an amazing musical talent.
And he passed it on to his kids. My cousin Shem has also played with Kenny Loggins (as well as Christopher Cross and a few others), and released a CD some years back (called "Son of Arthur"). He's now breaking into opera as "Shem von Schroeck". (Here's his blog, and here's an interview with him.) His younger brother Jason is also a musician, going under the name Jason Rath ("Rathbun" is the family name of our shared paternal grandmother). Their sister Joelle is now "just" a housewife in California, but she was an amazing violin prodigy as a child. She performed on Shem's CD, so I know she hasn't abandoned all that talent (and she passed it on to her daughters, apparently).
