.:.impossible Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 Keith Williams is the man in the white dress on the far right. Born in Porter County, just outside of Valparaiso, Indiana in December 18, 1939, his father, Nathan Williams was a working drummer. His mother, TeeWee Strauss, played piano and organ in the Lutheran Church. She was a switch operator for the telephone company for most of her life, supporting her husband Nathan and their children Keith, Sarah, and Donald. Keith learned to play the piano from TeeWee and other women at the church. He had little to no interest in the drums, along with a strained relationship with Nathan. Nathan worked almost every night of the week. He also drank almost every night of the week. As Keith got older, arguments with his father became a daily occurence. Keith and Nathan banged heads almost every afternoon after school let out. TeeWee always had something warmed up for Keith before he left for his job at the Chesterton Tribune as a mailroom clerk. Keith graduated from Valpo in 1964. He packed one bag, full of TeeWee's clothing, and headed out to Santa Monica, CA to become a singer. This is one of three known recordings documenting Keith Williams' singing career. Apparently, Keith works as a server at Michael's on 3rd in Santa Monica. It has been said that the waiter that Lewis Grizzard jokes about is this very Keith Williams. Quote
