That kid certainly had some talent on those drums! I love the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour episode "Lucy Goes To Mexico".. for a little munchkin he had a lot of talent! Also thought the little dance with the girls was super cute

According to Keith Thibodeaux's autobiography, Life After Lucy, he began playing drums at the age of two. He played drums for many years in a band called David & The Giants. Even though he now helps run his wife's ballet school, he still finds the time to play. He was an adorable little boy, wasn't he?

Litt Ricky was my first exposure to a child actor in a tv show. I adored him then and still now. He is such a cutie pie.

Is it just me or did Keith have a slight lisp or something? I could swear I hear something when he talks. I can't put my finger on it.

Little Ricky was an idol in my house. He was a little boy that was cute and talented! I remember playing the drums (pots and pans) to be like Little Ricky.

He was the cutest in his PJ's and his striped jacket.

I'll have to check about that lisp!

I remember once seeing Keith being interviewed on a show and something abt the way his lips move, even as an adult, I can still hear something that I can only describe as a lisp, though it may not be.

He also said in his book he never considered himself an actor, just a musician. However, he went on to play Opie's friend Johnny Paul on the Andy Griffith Show for several years.
