Edward Rothacker learned early in life he was a musician. He started piano lessons in second grade and led morning Mass at Catholic church by the time he was thirteen. Playing music throughout his youth, Rothacker joined the U.S. Navy and continued playing organ with the Navy Blue Jacket Choir and rock-and-roll with the U.S.S. Milwaukee's band, Damn Right.

Although musically smooth, Rothacker's religious life was discordant. Imagine attending a parochial grade school for eight years, never missing Sunday Mass for twelve years straight, memorizing catechism, playing by the rules, but not knowing God. Keys To Glory is Rothacker's autobiographical awakening and faithful search for God, telling how God used his music to guide him into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
