Christoph;

Phil Keaggy only plays Christian music with heavy emphasis on the Spiritual realm. He's quite extra-ordinary and must have God on his side when he plays (obviously). I honestly believe he can have concerts which transcend the physical realm.

I coined a term for Phil many years ago namely "Keaggyisms". What are they? They are specific modes he tends to gravitate towards. I pretty much can identify him by just listening due to those "Keaggyisms".

I remember many special moments both live and at home listening to him and thinking wow, I've never heard anything like this before. And when the Spiritual side kicks in - watch out. It's sometimes too much.

I think his best album was "Emerging" back in the late 70's early 80's time frame.

His acoutic work for me is better when seen live, than is his live electric work.

Hey, thanks for asking.
Have a good day!
