It has
come to my attention that many of my on-line friends have never heard of Phil
Keaggy. I shake my head sadly when I
think about that because, if life was fair and the music business was based on
pure talent, he would be more known and appreciated than many, many, many much
more rich and famous singer/musicians.
(I won’t be mean-spirited and name names. But the list would be long.)
Phil is
an extraordinarily gifted guitar player. I have seen him in concert numerous times and
watching him play is truly a thing of beauty. (I’m not kidding about that.)
The short
song by Phil, to which I have created a link, is titled, "Happy." It is mostly instrumental—although there are some brief vocals at the
end—and it gives a little taste of his wonderful musicianship.
*For the
musicians who really pay attention to this type of thing, the bass player on
the song is a man named Hadley Hockensmith.
What Hadley does on this song is worthy of quite a few “high fives,” too.
