Keith,
Before this guest book closes up, there is a little more I want to say. I believe you had a quiet charisma about you, and a zest for music and for Life, that excited those who knew you.

From that point on I have been influenced by Keith's musical ability and the introduction to The Blues. Man could that guy play. At all the jams at Tom's or Ed's, his house and ours, and when we would...
