I couldn‘t have produced a CD like this the first three or four years out. I needed time to grow as a musician and a songwriter.‖ According to Keith, the biggest influence on the recording is that he worked with a producer for the first time. It was recorded at Josh Ford‘s The Sound Shop studio in Macomb. Ford, who performs as Motor City Josh, worked with Keith on the arrangements. Advertisement ―He is a tremendous producer,‖ says Keith, who wrote all the songs on the album. ―He took the songs I wrote and helped bring out the best arrangements and refined my ideas. ―I can‘t say enough about Josh Ford. Because he is a musician, he hears things well and is open to new ideas. If something is not working, he will tell you. And he is willing to take chances and be a little adventurous.‖ The music features horns by Billy Furman and Mark Croft — members of Keith‘s band, who also did the horn arrange- ments — keyboardist Jim David, and the studio rhythm section of bassist Alex Lyon and drummer Todd Glass. Motor City Josh also plays on the CD. The result is a sound that incorporates the talents of all involved, producing a solid collection of well-crafted tunes. ―The greatest thing for me is to write great songs with great lyrics,‖ says Keith, a former long-time journalist who is now executive director of ARISE Detroit!, a community mobilization organization. ―That‘s what I get a lot of response to. I never fashioned myself as someone trying to be a guitar hero. I want to be appreciated more as a songwriter.‖ Keith also hopes the CD brings appreciation for the many talented working blues musicians in Detroit, as well as blues legends of the past.

As the curtains opened last Wednesday night he stood with no violin, but instead playing keyboards. It wasn’t until he picked up his unusually shaped electric violin that I felt completely involved in his music. There was satisfaction in seeing Ponty perform after hearing what I always thought was possibly a violin but was never quite sure in many cases. Being able to see Ponty playing his violin gave a sense of the inventiveness and originality of his music. Armed also with a full backup band, Ponty • was very successful in presenting music that seemed to be 8 much less effective on his latest albums. j: The difference between Ponty’s performance of the title track “Open Mind” the night of the concert as opposed to • the recording was that there were people playing the 2 drums, bass and guitar instead of computers.
