To Ken

I worked with Ken on and off for quite a few years at Cirque. I Directed the opening night show last year for "The Special Event" and Ken graciously came to meet me in LA to work as the SM for next to no money. There was quite a roster of talent performing, and we had a huge plate full to work on. He worked his butt off in the day and a half before the gig to make me look great! He always was amazingly respectful to every one he ever worked with, and he always made me especially, feel as though I was large and in charge and knew exactly what I was supposed to be doing, all the time! I don't know, it's hard to describe, but his gentle soul and the way he would look at me always made me feel so good about myself! I am still in quite a state of shock about this, I miss him so much! Here's to Ken Tilden, an amazing beautiful man who touched so many lives.
