I had no idea about the 4 fingers on the right hand. Amazing!

I definitely like the album, and I think he’s amazing, so we’re not disagreeing there. I just find some other “compositions” more interesting, at least when considering the entire album.

I am interested in hearing more of him, so I’ll check out Acoustic Sketches.

Also, I never heard of Michael Hedges and Kaki King, so I have some more research to do now.

Thanks again!

I’m not too surprised at your
reactions to the Keaggy CD you
got. I won’t say I agree or
disagree. I just haven’t really
thought about Keaggy from your
particular point of view.

But now that I think about it, I
would have to admit that my fan
status with Keaggy is based
almost entirely on his skill,
not so much on his writing or
song selection or even
showmanship.

And I daresay I should have
mentioned that a classical
guitar player Keaggy is not.

I’m an acoustic guitar player
myself (and you may be as well),
so I tend to listen to most
guitarists through that
perspective. I compare my
guitar playing to Keaggy. I
compare my golf game to Tiger
Woods. Perhaps I should stop
making things so difficult for
myself.

I once had the opportunity to
hear Phil Keaggy in person at a
very small venue. It was, quite
simply, awe inspiring. The
man’s skill is just startling.
And did I mention that he has
only four fingers on his right
hand?

It’s also somewhat peculiar to
me that even though Keaggy
identifies himself as a
Christian musician and even
though I appreciate some other
artists in that genre, I don’t
think of him that way. To me
he’s just a guy who does amazing
things with a guitar.

Bottom line: Like I said,
Acoustic Sketches is my favorite
album from Phil Keaggy, but the
remarks above might help you
decide if you want any more of
his music or if you’ve already
got more than enough.

Now, dare I mention another
artist or two?

I don’t remember seeing you blog
about Michael Hedges.

Or if you’re quite daring, have
you listened to any of Kaki
King’s stuff?
