Keith, you have designed the best volume pedal and you have the new Hil-Tone fuzz box out. Does this mean you are going to be coming out with a Magic Rock Box? If you do I might buy one. Gary A.

Fred, Thanks for the plug on the new CD, it is rather unique. Nobody has ever played steel like that on rock-a-billy stuff,so Keith didn't have no licks to copy. Looking forward to seeing you in Baxte ...

Hey ya'll, The main reason I play with Keith is because he always attracts such good-looking women, that's why he has to wear a mask to protect himself.

Hi Dennis, song royalties are usually collected at the studio or by the company that prints the CD's.
