There have been a lot of viral moments at country concerts recently . . .

Keith was game. He invited them up on stage. Apparently they’d made a bet with their boss. Keith CALLED the guy, and asked him to give EVERYONE at the office a day off . . . and maybe even a raise . . . and they made a deal. Then Keith posed with a sign that said “Visit Kildonan Ortho for your perfect smile!”
