The '77-79 Corridor
Keith's late stretch between May 77 and Brent's arrival.
Between May 77 and Brent's first season sits a whole late-Keith corridor: Englishtown's huge outdoor confidence, Huntington's mid-size Scarlet > Fire/Eyes charge, Red Rocks altitude, Egypt's singular September setting, and New Haven 79 just as the next keyboard era is about to begin.
