psalm 37:37 Mark the good and perfect man, for the end of his days are peace A lot of artists in his time have died or have been on drugs and addicted leading to the road of death. But this man is alive thriving and still doing what he loves, and praising the Lord through it.

Thankful I get to spend eternity with guys like you!

Phil Keaggy = World's Greatest, most versatile guitarist

[@TedSchoenling]

Phil has been a guitar hero of mine since the 1980s I was a huge beatles fan, and walked into a store and heard this very new yet beatly sound, and asked who is that. It was "Phil Keaggy and Sunday's child" Since then I've discovered Glass Harp, and have most of his albums. I love that you two have 'crossed over'

[@TedSchoenling]

at the 24 min mark Phil story.. I was at a show of Phil's in durham NC, and a kid busted out just like Neal was saying. This toddler went straight to the front of the auditorium. Phil stopped the song, watched the kid's movments, and then started playing a tune that kinda looked like the kid if you can picture it. A bouncy, fun, child like song, then the kid danced to it, it was amazing. He then busted out with his "Papa Song" . That is what I love about Phil Keaggy shows, you simply never know what will happen.

Really enjoyed watching this chat

[@timwoodruff]

15:00 I feel fortunate that I was able to see Phil play shortly before the pandemic happened. I discovered his acoustic music and later his electric music in high school, and seeing him in person was a dream concert for me. I even got him to play County Down, and sign a CD for me. The concert poster is hanging in my office at work. Good memories.

[@jozjonlin3170]

I'm speechless. Two of my favorite musicians. I'm not sure who the best guitarist might be, but I know for a fact that PK is the greatest 9 fingered guitarist on the planet.

[@stevensnyder6896]

KEGGIES THE MAN ..! LOVE YOU FOREVER.. saw you live in Dc. my favorite concert every in the late 80's.😊❤😊 He can play anything anyway you want it.. what a talented awesome guy !!❤❤

[@geoffbaker4452]

Great banter between two brothers in Christ. Good to hear them wrapping up with how our hope is in Jesus. Amen !

[@roddyg3692]

I have been following Phil since 1978. If we didn't have him life would be boring. Funny. I am the ninth kid out of a family of twelve. Growing up in the 60's and 70's I was always teased with the Beatles song "Number Nine, Number Nine"

[@marscounty]

Thank you for posting this interview. Great to see Phil. Please, pretty please make more music with Mr Keaggy!

[@Justinbjensen]

The version of “Cradle to the Grave” with you both is one of my favorite pieces of music ever. I would love to hear more collaborations with you two. Thank you for your music and inspiration.

[@jupaar8907]

It's a honor to listen these awesome musicians.

[@melkatts]

My computer is melting from the overwhelming talent & pure awesomeness of these two.

[@cjcox]

Memories of Phil at a small concert in DFW mid-cities Christian Club (can't recall the name?)... and marveled at his looping. He played some preview elements of Sunday's Child over his walkman straight into the mic. Great memories.

[@twoeagles19]

Glad I watched haven't seen Phil in person in a long time. Nice to hear all these stories especially about His Sis. ThX for sharing Neal. GBY...

[@martymartin2894]

Amazing i was just watching the ten commandments yesterday i just rewatched the scene with his sister. Wow what a stunningly beautiful lady she was lord rest her.

[@seancheek6196]

Meeting Phil and Neal have been some of the highlights of my life.

[@scottmcgregor562]

How about an album with Neal, Phil, Mike Portnoy, and Randy George??? Oh I have a new outrageous Phil Keaggy folklore. Phil lost his finger in a guitar dual with Jimi Hendrix.😂😂😂😂 Someone seriously, with a straight face, wanted me to believe that.

[@seancheek6196]

They did do an album, it's called "One"

[@scottmcgregor562]

@@seancheek6196 yes, I do know that they all played on that album, and I thought that it was excellent. I would love to see them come together on a project like Flying Colors, as if Neal and Mike are not busy enough.

[@blackvladtheimpala]

Yellow Matter Custard w/ Phil!!!

[@Roddo731]

Just found this Neal i’ve listen to your music for a long time and love it… Certainly love Phil I’ve been doing so since probably 76. Really really really… Really enjoyed this. Now I’m going through and watching some of your other episodes and sharing it with friends. Thanks Brother

[@timturner36]

Interesting to note the great Drummer Bernard Purdy' has claimed in his book that he plays/fixed 21 Beatles tracks from '62 through '66. There is much more happening with the Fabs than most realize than the Narrative.

[@MrJtheLo]

I attended and so much enjoyed your loop-show at Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland. And I have to say, Neal, you are just great in dealing with those little kick-ups with yout loop station: light spirited, with a great sense of humor and with love for the imperfection that makes a show like this just perfect.

[@SteveRiddleGuitar]

I really enjoyed this, love Phil’s music and his wonderful spirit, thank you.

[@trevorlee3752]

Phil is just a shining example of humility. So gifted yet so humble. Bless you Phil and thank you Neal for putting this together.

[@jefferyetheridge5287]

This is my first time listening to Neal Morse and never heard of him. This episode is so informative and funny and love all the stuff about the wives, families, and friends. Phil has always been one of my favorite guitarists and a very good songwriter with some really good lyrics that are very encouraging. Blessings to Phil and his family. I just downloaded some music of Neal Morse and sounded good so far and looking forward to hearing more. Blessings on you Neal and family. Thanks for the fun episode and look forward to hearing more.

[@johnhunter7386]

Two of my favorite musicians having a pleasant conversation. Love it!

[@denverdave12]

Neal - thanks for the interview with Phil. That was a lot of fun and very encouraging. Keep it up!

[@garyi8837]

This is great, Phil is so talented and so humble. The real deal man. Thanks Neal.

[@MournfulMystic]

Do an interview with Matt Smith from Theocracy!

[@johnmartin4152]

Neal Morse and Phil Keaggy. Wow. Thanks.

[@dianawinkler1221]

I loved the stories! I became familiar with Phil's music because I am a Keith Green fan. Phil was mentioned a lot in Keith's books along with Randy Stonehill. Great stuff.

[@xmandlt]

My utmost respect and may God continue to bless both you and Phil.

[@jandasalovich6469]

Just excellent. So much history. Thank you Neal and Phil. For letting us fans into this conversation.

[@jeffsmith1819]

Love you guys!! Class genuine believers!!

[@daviddryden8088]

I had a gig with a Christian rock radio station in the late 80's and always one of my favorites artists to play was Phil. Great musician. (edit) I finally got around to getting a subscription to Waterfalls because if I'm honest, I owe Neal alot of money.

[@jwdebok2333]

Hi Neal, Yes please one album together with Phil with a good backing band (Portnoy George)

[@zeanon1965]

Great interview with two guys who are in my world of rock and prog !

[@Kenneth-nVA]

Phil definitely has a McCartney feel to his singing

[@reviewersrevival5408]

@Coram : Exactly! I’ve always thought/felt the same as you. Phil Keaggy is the Christian Paul McCartney. No one can dispute McCartney’s songwriting skills, but Bro. Keaggy is probably one of the world’s top 3 guitarists!

[@daveanderson883]

Really enjoyed this.

[@frontrowevents1926]

Great convo. Thanks Neal.

[@ericdaugherty3554]

A dream of mine. I have fav bands/musicians and think it's cool for them to collaborate. Kings'X, Neal Morse/Spock's & Ayreon. Arjen has worked with Neal and Ty so now Neal and King's X need to work together!!!!!!! Cool right?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jozjonlin3170]

Ty has one of the best guitar tones in music, period.

[@RobTackettCovers]

I saw Phil Keaggy when I was in high school...he was touring with 2nd Chapter of Acts and my buddies and I caught the show in the Phoenix area...of coarse I wanted to go up and see what he was using to pick with...he was using these tiny tear drop picks (back then anyway...not sure what he's using now...) he was also slacking the strings on his Les Paul...and I was like "why?..." and he explained that it was his last show on the tour, and that he was flying out and that (I think it was because the guitar was going in regular luggage) that the quick change in elevation or temprature could cause damage...there's a lot of tension/ pull on the headstock of the guitar already in just a normal situation...I have a friend that had a headstock break on his acoustic bass just having the guitar in his car driving it to my house from about 40 miles away...he opened the case and was very sad to discover what was inside...I was sad as well...anyway, I don't personally know Phil Keaggy, but have worked out some of his stuff...like the major lick in Time...as well as an acoustic song from the Love Broke Through album called Portrait, and note for note his solo in the Second Chapter of Acts song Keep On Shining (link to that song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJPGpZaog76Eers ..if he happens on this, I'm also a long time friend with a fellow named Dan, and his brother Bill lives in Phil's neighborhood...Phil will know Bill...his wife's name starts with a G...with me mostly, I always tend to know people that know "famous" people, but never actually know them myself to an extent to where I can say "Yeah, him and me are great buddies!"...maybe some day....anyway, thanks for posting this video with Phil Keaggy in it...hope you and yours are well.

[@robdavidson1876]

I just love the title 😍 of this lol 😆!

[@jimrichardson253]

I’ve been listening to Phil a lot this week! Awesome podcast

[@brycejacobsen123]

Phil I found something with you on KZbin a few years ago where you headlined a worship show at a big church (forget which..) and you absolutely KILLED. Props!

[@JohnnyDJenkins]

Great interview Neal. I love your work with Project Aegis and would love to see you interview Matt from Theocracy.

[@ronniecraft3895]

i just love this , thanks for sharing !!!

[@blackvladtheimpala]

Revive Yellow Matter Custard with Phil...Please????

[@reviewersrevival5408]

Very, very enjoyable. Such a blessing! God bless you both. Bro. Morse, is that a RODE NT-1 you were using?

[@williamjordan811]

The Answer to the monetary thing is micro payments, that pays everyone their due...Every time it is played, it charges an account and sends the payments to the creators, maybe using blockchain, like renting a video on line or a Digital on line Jukebox, So IDK, Cheers

[@richardmills6260]

I enjoyed it, thank you. One suggestion. Let your guest talk. Too many interruptions and interviewer talking about himself.

[@Scottmcgee1111]

Love Phil. I always said if Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton became Christians and started a band together, it would sound like Phil Keaggy.

[@popjax2465]

Now that was a perfect call! Love it! 🙏🙏🙏

[@jackburgoyne3725]

how could I speak to Mr. Keaggy? I've always wanted to

[@stephendawg1]

Go to one of his concerts. A most approachable man. 🙂

[@nicksm7980]

I thought it was Kerry Livgren in the preview.

[@kajetanmalinowski892]

Guys for the life of me, I cannot put the name on the intro theme. Can somebody point me towards the lick from the intro?

[@bwhammm]

That's Overture from The Similitude of a Dream. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!

[@kajetanmalinowski892]

Here is guy how old ? he still sounds like a kid and has such a boyish face.
