Kenneth Tucker Obituary
He was well known for being a top guitarist. Some even said he was ahead of his time.
In high school he played with the "Blue Notes". In the 50s he had his own "Jazz Trio", in which some fellows from the Glen Miller Band sat in and played with him.
He also played with Tommy Hayne's band. He played with Tiny Lynn, Jim Bowman and Bill Case. His last job was with Bill Case at the State Theatre.
He also taught guitar and even taught at the YMCA for a while.
His favorite music was classical and jazz. But he did enjoy playing any chance he could.
He left his wife Myrtle Tucker, 86, of Clovis, NM, two sons Kenneth James, 58, of Rowley, NC and David Lee, 54, of Clovis, NM, and Jonathon A Tucker of Portales, NM.

Kenneth was indeed an exceptional master of the guitar. He was also a very nice person. We knew him many years. God rest his soul.
