QuoteBlueranger Quoteskytrench Keith is on top of T&A, concentrated on his left hand positioning and did just fine, didn't notice any lapses, you are the one who is fumbling around Blueranger! Sure pal. Check the T&A video and look at Keith’s hands at 1:18 for instance… That's the only little mishap during the whole song You can check his hands on 81-versions as well...

Was he kicked out of his own band? It was strange that they continued without him, and the info about Bill was deleted from their webpage, if memory serves. At least for a while.
