Please join me in welcoming newest member Keith Vivens! Keith is
the base guitarist and vocalist who MC'd the Unity Jam last night
(which was a BLAST by the way!). He is also head of (I think that's
what he said) the Houston Musician's Union (Keith PLEASE correct me
if I'm wrong) and is quite jazzed about getting involved with our
NTMA-H (pun intended; he's a jazz player). On Sundays, Keith plays in the band
at Unity Pyramid @9:am and 11:am.
