I’ve never been off a year in my life.” “Through COVID and cancer, the old devil’s been after me a little bit,” Keith continued. “I’ve got him by the horns right now, so instead of just sitting around and waiting, we’re gonna get the band back together.” Over the years, Keith played for U.S. presidents including George W Bush.
