That's, pretty much, the born again movement in a nutshell. Well, that's what happens when you form your view of the world based on cartoons! The "born again" movement and pro-lifers in particular adopt more babies, support unwed mothers, and many similar things. Doctors and nurses donote their services to take care of these people. Remember, cartoons are must made up and require no research. Reality is a much different affair. |
| Baby_M (a 100-year old building in downtown Akron, Ohio) | Posted: Oct 18, 2005 - 16:00 I have a disc of his called 220, which is all instrumentals, and I highly recommend it to all and sundry. Utterly phenomenal guitar playing. |

Or was it the pregnant part of born again? Confused. |

| kmhdesign | Posted: Aug 05, 2005 - 15:47 Thanks Bill for the dose of Keaggy, (sippping my beer on a friday, at Work mind you!) Wow, a flash from the way past. I've actually seen him live as well. Absolutely incredible! For a guy missing a finger, he sure rips. And I too have heard the Urban Legend in reference to the Hendrix comment. I didn't see any reference to the band Hendrix mentioned, Buffalo Springfield. I believe Phil fronted them for a couple years back in the day. anyway, back to the soda... |

Decent tune, though.

Really? Haven't seen any of your stuff uploaded on RP. Oh and Google? Nothing. Hey, Keaggy you hack--grab your guitar, Diane's going to school us. |

You definately need to hear more of his stuff, then. I saw him in concert at a club in Richmond a few years ago, and this man could freakin' retune to alternate tunings near instantly and with perfect accuracy in the middle of the song he was playing. He's the master of the Boomerang, and he plays many styles of guitar as if he invented them, be they blues, jazz, rock, what have you. Quite excellent. |

| troubadour27 (Nashville, TN YEEEEEEEEEEHAW!) | Posted: May 09, 2005 - 14:00 Ok Im on again with the name dropping but I cant resist. Phil Keaggy has to be one of the best men I have the privilege of knowing. I met him at the Smoke Shop that Kip Kubin (Venus Hum) and I worked at here in Nashville. Had the chance to go to several get togethers with a bunch of his music row friends, even went to the same church as Phil for a bit. I can say for certain that hes one of the most dedicated musicians in Nashville both to his craft and his family. Being around Phil is what makes me wish I had more of his music. He builds people up, no matter who, what, or how they worship. Kudos to Bill for having the courage to play him on RP. Made my morning. |

Yep...saw Glass Harp many times in Kent Ohio in the 70's.Before Phil went in his other direction. |

I gather he still is, though if Kerry Livgren is still in there (with or without A.D.), he's got some competition in the writing department, especially in terms of lyrics.
But that's absolutely gorgeous guitar work - right up there with Leo Kottke or Michael Hedges (or Craig Olson, if you want a Pagan equivalent). The Spirit prevails, whatever you call Her/Him/It. Or for Rush folks, The Spirit of Radio. Radio Paradise now... :) I'm hoping I don't open a can of worms here, (see TORI AMOS fiasco) But I thought I recognized Phil's name from GOSPEL category, interesting to see him played here.

| Trustocity (Boston, baby) | Posted: Jan 26, 2005 - 10:00 Clapton called Keaggy the greatest guitar player in the business today. That makes RP exceptionally cool for playing him. |

Ohhhh, nooooo . . . I myself have repeated this urban legend many times, but this time I looked it up because I wanted to find out which late-night talk show it when/where that Jimi mentioned Phil. It looks pretty bleak ... Urban Legends page link (and a great photo of Phil circa Glass Harp): (click here) I love Phil Keaggy: I got to meet him in Houston during the Invention tour with Wes King and Out of the Grey (Scott &Christine Dente's band). He signed my Parker Fly and went on for a bit about he'd be playing one that night, what he loved about it--then the guys whose job it was to keep him on time moved it along, and that was that. Well--not really, he and all of the other artists hung around and met everyone that wanted to wait his/her turn, whether they had merchandise to sign or not. |
| harpsm | Posted: Sep 26, 2003 - 11:18 Ahhh, so relaxing and comforting - perfect music to help you smooth the transition into the early stages of Alzherimer's :| |
| the_jake (Living on the edge) | Posted: Sep 16, 2003 - 06:13 Many years ago I work promoting Christian concerts and was fortunate to meet Phil. His "Master and the Musician" album I would recommend if you liked this piece. |
