Before he died he dictated this note to friends, fans and family, as it was recorded by Allen Fleming: I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God’s hand reaching down to pick me up.

Back in the 90’s when I was a college kid I had the experience of seeing Phil Keaggy perform in concert at my college. The concert was sometime in the winter months, which for Ohio could have been any of about 9 months. However, the impact of the time of year plays into what happened at the concert. Keaggy was supposed to arrive with the rest of his band, but their flights and most of his equipment got delayed due to the weather and he arrived on campus by himself with just his guitar and some simple audio equipment.
