127 on the 808 was recorded at Maymont Park in Richmond, VA on May 13th, 2010. It is intended to be a dance song.One you dance to. Naked. On a golf course. In the middle of the night. Way back on the other side of the course away from the club house where no one can hear your sub-woofers or see your gyrating flesh as you dance your improvised, interpretive dance that tells a story with different characters, plot lines, tragedies, and ultimately closes with a happy ending. Not the dirty kind of Nevada brothel/massage parlor happy ending, but the one where the good guy gets the girl and the bad guy goes to jail and the world is transformed into a bright beautiful dream with flowers, water falls, bubbles, and cloud beds. Please Enjoy. If you like and want to purchase this song, visit KellerWilliams.net/WIFLIF
  

127 on the 808 - Live at Maymont Park - 05/13/10

This was recorded almost 17 years ago on 9/6/94 at Finns on Atlantic Blvd in Virginia Beach, VA. The song is called "Get On Up/Sanford and Son". It still appears in my live show today but with lots of loop jams throughout. This version was before all the looping crept its way into my show. It is also the first song on my first record "Freek". This version was recorded on cassette off of a powered mixer that I hauled around in a Mazda pick up with my trusty husky Sheeba. The guitar was an amazing Takamini 12 string with actually 12 strings on it. And tuned to pitch. Today my 12 strings have 9 strings and tuned 1 to 5 steps below pitch so this is different from how my guitars sound today. This guitar was either left on the street or stolen out the back of my truck right around the time of this show. I was young and dumb and worry free and quite forgetful. I was also doing like 6 shows a week (2 of those being in Virginia Beach). Finn’s on Tuesday and Kiefer’s on Wednesday. Man I miss that guitar. I didn't notice it missing until I loaded in the next night.  The replacement guitars never quite sounded as good to me so a lot of the old recordings from this time frame don't pass my rigid inspection for release.  But this does. In fact, I have plucked several songs off of this recording to share. Finn’s was owned by a college buddy of mine for about 8 months. A circle of friends would bartend and free drinks and shots would flow freely. Maybe that's why it closed 8 months after it opened. The song was made up a couple of years earlier and it’s about a weekly gig I had in Fredericksburg. The Windsor Tea Room (which is now J.Brians) would move the tables aside on Wednesday nights and let me play from 8-10pm to a bunch of underage hippy kids. Ahhh…good times. I was recently given a hard drive containing something like 800 shows of mine dating back almost 20 years. All I need is a computer…and some kind of plug to go between the two…and some software to decompress the files…and someone who knows how make both work…and about 150 hours to listen to the stuff. And then of course babysitters. So it might be a while before I dive into this hard drive. I wish I could plug some headphones into it and press play. Someday, I will discover what lies beneath the mysterious plastic shell of this hard drive. And when I do, I will share some with you. Until then, please enjoy.

Get On Up/Sanford and Sons - Live at Finn's - 9/6/94

Rush Limbaugh. This song is not a rebel song. This song is not a political song. This song is not “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. It is however about free speech and speaking your mind all of the time. It’s all about opinions. Well......this song is mine. I released this song a little while back and got a few letters from Rush lovers that didn't like this song very much. I can understand not liking the lyrics but the groove is down right sexy if I do say so myself. Sexy like the thought of Rush Limbaugh backin’ that ass up. Ohhhh…..that's sexy. Damn. You can just tune out the words and focus on that tasty, panty droppin’ groove. This was recorded at the totally awesome Pageant in St. Louis. It features harmony vocals from sound engineer, Louis Gosain. Please know that this song comes from me being a fan of the asshole/douche bag character that Rush Limbaugh portrays and not from any hatred of the Republican Party. I love republicans. They are funny. Glenn Beck is hilarious. The facial expressions that Sean Hannity gets are priceless. Bill O’Reilly and Giuliani? Both very funny men. Especially Giuliani. I'd bet he’d be fun to party with. They all have a role to play. They should all be in a movie together. Some non-political action packed thriller with special effects and nudity. I'd see it in the theater. Anyway, this one is about Rush Limbaugh whom I'd like to thank for giving me the inspiration to write 9 minutes of lyrics. 

Thanks Rush.

Keller & His Compadres - Chillin' Like A Villan -> Black Clouds - Keystone, CO - 12/21/12

This version of "Terrapin Station" was recorded on piano by Keller and can be found on the album 'Keys'.  'Keys' is available on iTunes (MIDNIGHT ON 2/11/13) for purchase (itunes.apple.com/us/album/keys/id598782779), and 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Rex Foundation.  And now a word from Keller:

"It’s no secret I have an unhealthy fascination with the Grateful Dead. Whenever I sit down at the piano it seems the only thing that comes out are Jerry ballads.  Even though these songs are not all Jerry ballads, I have sort of made them that way.  The lyrics, although I've been singing them most of my adult life, are not 100% perfect. Like any other music I play, I've taken liberties.  All of the proceeds from the sale of these songs goes to support the Rex Foundation, which was started by the Grateful Dead, in the 80's, so you can feel good about that!  Gratefully yours, Keller"
