Guitar Pull Business, Community Service and Fun! Congrats to Kicks 99 for another great Guitar Pull concert—after a one year hiatus due to Covid-19. Yours truly was amongst hundreds of Beasley Broadcasting advertising clients that got complimentary tickets to the show. Rather than take a business client of mine, I took my eight year-old daughter Lyndee (pictured above) to her first concert!

Trust in God. Treat people right. Help the community. These three core principles propel Augusta native and wholesale retailer Keith Brown as much now as they did almost 40 years ago. Support from others helps, too. “There are a lot of people who pray for my success,” Brown says. “I’m deeply rooted in my faith.” Brown’s roots have kept him grounded in the screen printing and embroidery business over the years.
