The man, the legend…the urban legend.

May 31, 2008 · Print This Article

Phil Keaggy is coming to town in a few weeks.  I know many of you guitarists were influenced by Phil, even though he has fewer fingers than most of you (9).  Phil is also the subject of a popular urban legend.  Read the legend here.  

 

Who among you count Keaggy as an influence?  Who out there has heard the urban legend?  (I have for the last 20 years.)  Who believed it?  (I once did.)

    Sweet! Jamie raves about seeing Phil Keaggy when she was in college. I’m going to have to get me some tickets to that one!

    I once heard that Jimi Hendrix credited Phil as a master guitarist and an influence….Who knows?
