Thank you Keith Baim

I had the honor of having drinks and dinner with Mr. Keith Baim tonight. Met for cocktails and sushi at the Cannery in Newport Beach and then off to a coffee house to hear Keith play a few of his original tunes - including the debut of "The Ball Family Boogie" - a great upbeat tune that Keith would agree would sound great with a full rhythm section and a few horns.

Keith played his beautiful ruby Luke BFR with a special ruby sparkle back - an incredibly gorgeous guitar. Keith sounded great and was well received.

Thanks Keith for a great evening. See you again next time I'm out in CA. Dinner's on me!

Keith is an excellent composer and a really nice guy on top of it all! Plus he can tell a good joke every now and then.

That was a fun night! Drinks, laughs, sushi. Some guitar.
The quality of individuals on this forum is really remarkable. And im always amazed how funny, smart, and kind everyone is. And how supportive and respectful this community is with eachother.

The guitar was kind of a gift from a friend (that I paid for) and was the inspiration for the tune "BALL FAMILY BOOGIE" which i wrote while awaiting its arrival as a tribute to Sterling and the Ball family. It's in DADGAD tuning. Even has a section for a Bass solo (gasp!) in case I ever get to play it with BP and J. Ferarro at some future bash. I think John's in.

If I get it recorded with horns and everything I'll post it...

Thanks again EGGMAN
