My guest this week is John Keith. John Keith was born in Parkersburg, WV and raised just up and across the Ohio River in Newport, OH. He and his wife, Tina, now live near Cambridge, OH. where John is a full-time minister for the Church of Christ.\nHe began playing guitar when he was nine, and ached for an electric guitar so he could become the next big rock star. One evening in 1981, his dad and mom dragged him to Eureka, WV, to hear his older cousin and some of his buddies play something called \u201cBluegrass.\u201d He was hooked! You can contact and keep up with John at his Facebook page HERE or check out his band Open Highway out HERE!
