His Music Helps Him Heal
"I thought it was incredible just watching them play the same music I love, [draw a] big audience and have a case full of money," Kemp said.
So Kemp, 52, taught himself to play guitar, and by the late 1980s the former restaurant manager was playing on the streets of San Francisco, too.
But the Gaithersburg native was plagued by inner turmoil that would not allow him to enjoy his dream gig. Kemp began using drugs and eventually decided to stop running from the law and return to Montgomery County to face the legal consequences of a brief physical relationship with a teenage boy in 1985.
Kemp returned to the area in 1993 and turned himself in to authorities. He was incarcerated in the state prison in Hagerstown. Upon his release, he returned to using drugs and was in and out of jail until he made the decision nearly two years ago to quit for good during a stint in the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Clarksburg.
Nowadays, Kemp enjoys writing and playing music.

Chet Atkins SST, Tom Anderson Crowdster, Stonetree NRS which is a better thin body guitar?
Dec 09, 2009 by Blahblah | Posted in Polls & Surveys
From looking at all the thin body guitars being offered I feel the Stonetree NRS is the top model. It is extremely light weight, it actually is an acoustic that can be heard loudly across the room unplugged and it doesn't have annoying feed back on stage. Interested in hearing your opinion. What do you think is the best and why?
The Stonetree NRS.
