The man who lived a legacy of vision, courage and strength to rise a leader unifying a nation for ALL the people (his people) of South Africa. Such a man!! We thank God for Nelson Mandela's legacy. As this news goes forward of his passing, the loss grows heavier upon the heart. May we all pause for a moment to consider what the world has lost this day. ~Keith Hill

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a singer and second generation big band/jazz lover. I grew up watching my dad Bill Ainsworth playing sax and clarinet behind such idols as Ella and Tony Bennett. I love putting new twists on great old songs, both standards and obscurities. I write for radio by day and by night, work with great jazz musicians like Brian Piper, who also produced and plays on my debut CD, "Keep It To Yourself." Drop by my website for samples and to download a free Irving Berlin classic!
