Audience Feedback

GO SEE THIS!!! Beautiful story told masterfully in a way that has you hooked. Honesty. Clarify. Reality. And a touch of banjo music. Keith tells his personal true story and causes lightbulb moments to go off for everyone in the audience. Amazing. Great show.”

It's one of those outstanding shows you feel privileged to have experienced. We booked because of the link with banjos - and were curious - we got so much more. A show that will remain with us for ever as one of the great life affirming stories.

It's easy to see why past reviews have been so favorable. Great life story, and so well told. Kudos to Keith!
