R.I.P. Keith. Danny thanks for this information. We met Keith some years ago and got to spend time with him and Jett on several occassions. Our prayers go out to their family.

I played steel for Jett while Don Helms recovered from an accident that injured his hand. When Don returned to the band, I stayed with the group playing lead guitar. Working with Don Helms was one of the greatest experiences of my musical career. In 2000, Jett and Keith took me to Norway with them on a ten day/four show tour as their band leader. It was my first trip overseas. Jett and Keith were first class all the way... best hotels, food... everything! R.I.P. "Fletch", I will always remember the great times we shared.

I'm thankful for the good times with Kieth, Jett, and the Men Of Steel.
