What an innovator! What a composer! What an inspiration! Pure genius! It’s a shame he is not famous.

I used to work with Keith at Gibson Guitars back in the early 90's. He's a great, talented guy. The kind of guy that when he entered a room, you felt his presence. That's the kind of reverence we had, and still have for him.

There is no reason whatsoever that this man isn't known across the world.

Absolute legend pushing the boundaries of music and guitar.

He invnts, builds and Plays.... and not only that, his harp guitar is a real masterpiece and has an enormous Sound. As my dad specialized in crafting unique stringed instruments himself I can really say this Sound is so extremely well balanced, just love it. I listened to many great harp guitar Players and I can tell Keith really is one of the best if not the best. I am very happy I got the Chance to order his Album directly from him and have it shipped overseas. Everyone I showed the CD to was totally blown away. This is real Music todays Kids should get to know before they are wasred by modern sample triggered, unispired, untalented Music of todays po Charts.

[@marshamoore8385]

I can say it depends on what you call famous. When music transends any other and causes joy and all the little thing's like your hair raising on your arm's or a gasp of air, that is what I call famous.

[@coogskr11]
