Wanna watch a great video in memory of Keith Whitley? Check out youtube video "Keith How Many".

[MAMsMom97]

I agree, friends. Ernie Thacker's song "Keith How Many" is the #1 greatest tribute to Keith ever laid down on a disc. I have the studio version, and the lyrics are absolutely beautiful!

[ROEU812]

That was an awesome tribute to Keith....could you please post the studio version on youtube for us? Thanks

[MAMsMom97]

I am giving it some serious thought. If I can, I will contact Ernie's sister and get permission to post it. Thanks!

that was in my father resturant the frosty freeze they show first in this video. And thats me at 0:45 with keith holding a guitar wiht keith in my faters resturant I was 8 years old and I can for some odd reason rember that whole day. This was around the time dont close your eyes album reached #1 and a couple of singels reached the top also.

Keith was more than great and i am a raging alcoholic how can you go from

lucid to almost 5 times the legal limit in a hour did anybody look at fool play

and dont give me the he drank 409 defense if he did..... he needed help

for a long time before that ,,,,,,,, and then i say shame on you but one has to fix ones self i just think the alcohol level for 1 hour is a lie

shame on you

WOO

[dscottkerr]

Lot's of bluegrass around there in Eastern KY, and Southern, WV. (where I'm from)

[mountainpick14]

Ive saw that main street many times! im from west liberty thats just a few miles from sandy hook!

[xxlonestarxchickxx]

wow!! keith whitley was great!!

[MAMsMom97]

I thought this video was about Keith and how the town felt about him, not about his mother's driving skills. She doesn't even live in Sandy Hook anymore, so chances are it was probably a long time ago that you saw her there.

[MAMsMom97]

I don't know much about Bobby's dad. But there's no denying that's Mary's boy! He looks so much like Keith--Look at those cheekbones, that smile!

[MAMsMom97]

I don't believe he was, I refuse to believe that. The 3 times I've traveled the 400 miles to Sandy Hook, I've always found the locals to be very kind and accommodating to out-of-towners. It's a shame people like Judge David Blair forgets all the good things Flo & Dwight have done to bring revenue to your area by drumming Flo out of her job at the Visitors Center & changes the locks on her office door 'cuz she won't give him press in your local paper everytime he lets a fart. THAT's a true friend

[BigBoiJC]

how do you know he was talking about everyone?

[son8god8damn]

im not saying he cant sing its great. all im saying is he call us worthless shit.. ill never forget that night at the bar with um.. said he had to get away from all the scum in sandy hook..what a true friend he turned out to be lol...
