It hard to think that this many years have gone by after my late friend Keith Whitley's untimely death on May 9th,1989. Keith's music and memories are still with me and the world today. 20 years already. It seems like yesterday to me.RIP good buddy! Leo J.Eiffert,Jr. & Family.

I was working an early gig about 8 miles from Keith's last gig. We finished up early and the band , except for me, all went to hear Keith and his band do the 2nd show. They said Keith was fabulous. This was at the Armadillo Ballroom in Brazoria, Tx. I had some kind of stomach virous and did not go. I have wished a 1000 times that I had made the scene. We never know, do we? Jody.

One of the best songs to ever have been written and two of the finest singers doing it.
