Phul Keaggy with an ebow

I knew Phil from the late 70's early 80's when he would come into my shop in Tustin California for guitar work. He was a regular at Calvary Chapel, Chuck Smiths Ministry in Costa Mesa. He was an awesome player then and still is, lost some of his hair over the years, but still a great and humble person. Thanks for posting some of his video links....

It doesn't hurt that Phil is a NE Ohio native!

Though all the vids were great, I think I liked the e-bow one the best because of the innovation and sounds he got. I've been hearing Glass Harp on XM radio a lot, knowing they were from the 70's, but this fills it in more for me. I will have to listen even closer now. Thanks.

Anyone heard the album "Invention?" It was released in the mid to late 90's, and is a collaboration by Phil Keaggy, Wes King, and Scott Dente; fabulous guitar work by all.... most of the songs are instrumental, but the ones that have vocals are great, too. In recording the album they had a whole studio full of priceless vintage guitars including a 12-string Rickenbacker that had been used by Strawberry Alarm Clock--somewhere I have the full CCM magazine review of the album packed away.... It makes fairly regular rounds through my CD player.

I've got that one, Melissa - stumbled across it by accident, and bought it solely on the strength of Mr. Keaggy's participation.

A very happy accident - it's a fine album!
