I was at JB's in Kent every time Glass Harp played there and Phil surpassed or at least held his own with the best in rock music at the time including Eric Clapton. The entire band was amazing and will always be a specil part of my memories. I am impressed and thrilled at his acceptance of christ and having heard more recent pieces, I am conviced he is even more talentec than before...a true blessing. Thanks Phil for all you have given.

Phil Keaggy is awesome!!! I loved Glass Harp in the 70's and followed Phil's career through the years and own many of his recordings. There is no better guitarist. I'm mesmerized watching him play. Glass Harp was an amazing trio.
Phil's solo projects are as timeless as Glass Harps music. I have been to more Glass Harp and Phil Keaggy concerts than anyone elses.
Everyone who knows me knows what a huge fan I am, I have bought a lot of them Phil's and Glass Harp's recordings as gifts. Phil's solo works are uplifting and a testimony of Christ.
In conversation, some people often ask,"what's your favorite song of all thmes?" My answer, "A Song of Hope", most people dont know the song, thus starts my conversation of Phil, his music and Christianity.
God bless Phil and his family. I'm looking forward to the show and many more years of fellowship with his recordings.

Your friend in Christ.

Wow. Phil Keaggy!

Glass Harp had the talent and the sound to be a superstar group, the likes of the Eagles or the Beach Boys.

Perhaps God was watching over Phil, to change the course of his life towards Christian music. There's a reason for everything.

I have no doubt that Glass Harp would have become a powerhouse commercial success. There are times, though, when money is shown to not be as important as life itself.

Keep up the good work, Phil!

I remember Phil Keaggy from his days in Youngstown at the Apartment in the late 1960's. His music then was the best. Then he joined the Hippie Jesus Movement in the 1970's, and disappeared off the radar screen of us hard rock fans.

What a shame he found Jesus. He could have been among the best hard rock guitarists ever.
