to move, to create, to have our being in Him...a

the music on
underground which was recorded in 81 and 82
was recorded in my basement in Kansas City,
and I did it on a four track cassette player...teac
ac144...all the songs were just demos..it was
not really planned to be an album but became
an album released on an independent label...it's
a bit cheesy sounding but very inspiring. |
| Phil Keaggy |
yes, good news
for you! There is a plan in the works to
release my underground album through
Canismagor CDs and my friend, John Schroeder
will be releasing it on cd very soon |

ummm...that is a
difficult question because it is by faith and
having faith in God that I learned to trust
that he is having His Will in my life in His
Way...i think we need to seek the will of the
Lord continually in our lives not just once
in our life...one thing i do know that it is
His will that i and all of you are to become
His child by faith in Christ |

Well, i'm open
to that idea...um...i did 2 guitar videos and

watched them once...but i think they were

Mel Gibson...i'm shy :-) although, i hear
that Mike Roe is making a guitar video for
beginners which should be really wonderful
and really good |

reed from washington
asks:
how can i join your phil keggy club? |
| Phil Keaggy |
um...by
listening to my big brothers records...from
all 5 of my brothers...they were always
bringing records home..took up guitar at 10
years of age and i have loved playing it ever
since for 38 years now...my greatest
inspiration aside from the hundreds of guitar
players and classical musicians has been the
Lord himself...the thing i might add is that
each day is an opportunity for me to create
music and that's exciting for me |
