Saw Phil Keaggy last night

[JTyson]

When my Wife and go to see Phil we always bring him cookies or something for a treat. One time we were with Phil and he was getting ready to go on and asked if I wanted to play his Olson. I picked it up looked at Phil set it back in the case and just laughed. My very best which isn't all that bad is a joke compared to his playing.

I can relate. sounds like you guys know him pretty good, It seems like he's a real person, and then, He plays.............!!

I saw Phil do a solo acoustic show back in '98. Absolutly mind-blowing. He did some Beatles songs that almost had me in tears. And he was using loopers back before everyone and their brother was making them. Phil kicks ass. I'd love to see him again.

He did Here comes the sun, it was a really cool, rather calm moment, He had a lot of fun with that song....Actually...every song! I love his vocals, sometimes he sounds a little like McCartney to me.

one soundcheck which is a normally closed door affair for staff and tech crew only, a lady from the area that was an aquaintance of Phil brought a new Taylor she had just picked up and asked him if he could check it out to see what he thought.

he plugs in to his rig, does a few tone tweaks, and destroys.
gives it the thumbs up, and the lady did not stop smiling for an hour.."Phil liked my guitar/he played my guitar.."

but his Olsens sound really awesome, and second best only to Petros acoustics

I'll bet she keeps that Taylor forever!!
