If you knew Bobby well enough for him to do a session on your record, then you must have a contact for his "management". They will surely have a contact for Keith. Ask them?

I didn't know Bobby before we worked together. From what I can tell and the way we did our business, he managed himself. To cut a long story short, he liked the track I sent him so much that he invited me out to Nashville to cut it. No management involved. Total legend.

No it isn't private. It's not anything like that. I wanted to send him a copy of my new record which features Bobby Keys on sax. I can't say for sure but I think mine was the last thing he ever recorded on. We hooked up late October 2013 & I know he was then busy with the rock and roll hall of fame stuff, then the Stones.
I've no way of knowing really but his solo on my song is absolutely immense. I guess I just wanted to try and get a copy to Keith to hear his old pal one last time, albeit in a different context.

Feel free to post that tune here Raymond! Keith isn't the only one who'd like to hear Bobby blowing another rippin' solo.

peace

Well it's only a rough mix but here you go. The proper album version will be available in May. He solos in the middle and then the outro. The outro is spectacular. He asked me what I had in mind for the song, I said, just be Bobby Keys man...he said, I think I can do that! Hope you like it!

Just to say...like it very much...some real energy there and great piano/sax interplay. As you said BK's outro is great and what a lovely story. Hope you get it to Keith, sure he'd appreciate

That's a nice thing to write. Thanks very much for listening to it and I'll keep you updated with the Keith endeavours!!

I've done that. I even called the offices. They said to mail it, which I will do, bit I just would've liked to send an email with a bit of the story to see if it helped with what I'm trying to do! Thanks.

Big thumbs on the song, Raymond82
I surfed from soundcloud to your site - check your website email - I've sent some pertinent info.

Personally I find the idea of anyone thinking they need to contact people who work for the band (collectively or as an individual) a bit creepy.

This is a musician whose song features beautiful sax playing by Bobby Keys in what may have been his last recorded performance. He wants to send this song to Keith’s people. Sorry, MrThompsonWooft, I just don’t find this scenario the least bit creepy. In fact, I wish him the best of luck

Ideally I'd just call Keith up and say can I send you the track but I'm sure you'll agree, it ain't likely, is it!?

I'm glad the majority of posters on here see why I'd like Keith to hear the track. I'm not asking for anything, I'm not looking for anything, I just thought it was something he might enjoy hearing. Nothing more sinister than that...

Thanks for all the good vibes and feedback people...especially the private emails! I'm investigating every possible avenue. I'll keep you up to date if there's any progress!
Thanks again!

Jane is probably also corresponding via Mindless Records, Ray:

Thanks Duke...

It was funny, he asked what key it was in and then started to think about where it'd be going in the song. When the time came, he absolutely nailed it. It was spine tingling standing 2 feet away from the guy who lit up so many of my favourite songs, even more so that he was now blowing on one of mine! We did 3 takes but the first one was too good not to use, so that's what we did. I've got a great video clip but not sure how I can share that on here. It's a great memory now.

fantastic to see that video!

thanks so much for sharing, this is good, good stuff and if youre right about his last recording, its quite significant.
in any case, thanks again.

Why would anybody send a parcel to Keith Richards? If one knew him privately, he'd know where to send it.
If not...well...why bother. I guess it ends up in the dustbin, unopened. That's how I'd deal with it.

I'd like to apologize for being so rude.
I've been working with a lot of famous people and there's always some fan sending strange things. Or they wait at the backstage entrance to hand over cakes, cookies (which of course get thrown away!), self-written poems or books and from time to time there has been some really crazy guy or girl who truly believed the famous one / celebrety was their true friend. Which is never true. Of course, famous people have friends, too - but I think you know what I mean.
It's so emberrassing for the people I worked with that I desided to never wait in front of a hotel for the Stones and will never aks anybody for an autograph or even talk to them in their private time.

That being said, I think that Mr Richards would be happy to get that record and I hope you'll find a way to get it to him.
Sorry again, Raymond!

Hey, don't worry about it.

I understood your reaction. I was a bit vague in my original message. I didn't want to put too much info up at first.

This is all with good intentions, I just thought it would be a cool thing to do. I thought it was something that Keith might be interested in because he loved Bobbys playing so much.

I'm realistic though & the chances of it reaching him are slim to none! I'm just glad so many people on here liked it and got to hear the great Bobby Keys one last time.

Thanks for the message, appreciate it!

Great tune, thanks! I may be naive but I believe Keith likes good music, his entourage knows this and somehow good music seems to find its way to Keith. Good luck!

Raymond!

Great tune! Well done!

Also, because of your being a "bit vague" in your original post,
this thread is AWESOME.

Good luck on your Quest For Keith!
I've got a feeling that it will get there.

I remember reading your post about your meeting with Bobby some months ago, but I haven't listened to the song you've recorded with him, and this is great. I hope you can get your song delivered to Keith.

Thanks Kurt, appreciate you giving it a listen!

The thread has been great! So many cool people sending good vibes. There's been a whole bunch of emails too. I've followed up every lead!!
I'd be probably the happiest guy in the world if Keith heard it. Everybody saying they hope it finds him is amazing. I'll try my best!

Raymond-
I didn't want to post your facebook link without your permission, but if you post it, then folks can see the video of Bobby recording his contribution to your song...

and sadly possibly his last recording..?
