It looks like we lost another great. I only knew ya for less than a year but the fun and adventure will be remembered for ever. You were the BIG PRODUCER that worked next door when I worked at Sound City and you still Had Goodnight...I was intimidated by you but you were always cool and encouraged me to hang out as long as i didn't get into trouble. I miss all those days of Recording Studios and the real creativity that you helped create. The world will never get the magic that you forged via the board and the elemental sonic qualities that can only come from the heart-soul. I'm going to miss you and your kind and try to smile remembering an era that has passed on. Thanks for everything and I'm very sorry for the family. I guess if you want to think of Keith just pick up and great classic rock album and He'll be on 1 out of 5 easy. God speed.
