Back in the 2010’s, Keith and I ran back into each other here in the Portland, OR, area, where I lived and he would pass through occasionally on various work projects. He came over to visit, and proceeded to blow me away with a virtuosity of American Folk\/American Finger-Style Guitar (think Leo Kotkke or John Fahey) that I didn’t even know that he possessed. I’ve strummed around on the guitar for decades, but Keith had \u003ci\u003emastered \u003c\/i\u003eit.\u003cbr\u003eCuz or not, I thought that his work needed a much broader audience. I had him come down to THE Show Newport Beach, while Richard Beers was still around, and spend time with Cookie Marenco of Blue Coast Records. He recorded three songs for her directly to DSD256, but that was it. It never went any further, unfortunately.\u003cbr\u003eBack towards the end of 2024, Keith sent me a couple of his CDs from the first few years of the 2000’s. I was extremely impressed by them…they were surprisingly good. Both albums were recorded in 44.1kHZ\/16-bit (or maybe 48kHz\/20-bit…who knows?). I took on the challenge of ripping these good-sounding CDs to .WAV files via our Aurender A30. I then took the files through Tascam’s Hi-Res Editor to convert the .WAV files to DSD256 (Quad DSD) .DSF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e The result were quite gratifying…I think that you’ll think so, too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e So…listen on…and hear one of the real masters of American folk in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e Leo Kotkke, make room!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. David W.
