Josh Kear-"May 9th, 1989 (The Day Keith Whitley Died)" (written by Kris Bergsnes/Josh Kear)

Not much is known about this rare demo, but it brilliantly captures the emotions all of us Keith Whitley fans felt on that terrible day. Anyone out there with information on this song or the individual who sung it is urged to comment. Thank you!

**UPDATE 3/16/08** In a phone conversation with Bill Arnold last night, he shared with me that this song was indeed written by Kris Bergnes and was pitched to Bill and his record producer Randy Albright for possible inclusion on Bill's 2003 CD "One Lucky Man." Hopefully, we'll have more info from Bill on this great track very soon.

That's Josh Kear singing. He also wrote before he cheats and Bama Breeze to name a few. This is the only song we wrote.

Kris, I really did respond to your comment, but I guess it didn't send. I so appreciate your stopping by and offering more information on this great song. Would you be able to provide more information on this song, such as when you wrote it or when this demo was recorded, or anything else you can add? Again, many thanks, and God bless!

God had taken another talent way too soon!!

[MAMsMom97]

Way too soon for us, but God is always right on time. It's not for us to know why, and after almost 20 years I still don't know why, but we can't charge God foolishly. Sorry for the delay in replying to your comment. Thank you very much for stopping by.

[ROEU812]

23 years later and it still seems like yesterday. I STILL cry when I hear Keith's music and think about May 9th,1989. The day the music died for me. Keith, you'll never know what your music has meant to me in my life. It helped me through some of the DARKEST days and celebrated some of the HAPPIEST days with me. Thank You Keith, from the bottom of my heart and the last teardrop, THANK YOU.....

Keith was no stranger to the rain and when he met lorrie at Homecoming 63 it was love ten feet away. He finally found somebody that was doing him right and he said tell lorrie i love her. Keith told lorrie i have some bad news the Lord has summoned your Kentucky Bluebird home. Lorrie asked Keith why and he said Its all coming back to me now, I must go and share with others in heaven this brotherly love and take my rest but remember i will never be over you
