One of the first Christian-themed pop/rock acts, Glass Harp included singer/guitarist Phil Keaggy, bassist Dan Pecchio, and drummer John Sferra. Formed in 1969 in Youngstown, OH, the group -- a free-form power trio in the tradition of Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and fellow Buckeyes the James Gang -- quickly developed a strong local following, and in 1970 they signed to Decca to issue their self-titled debut LP. Synergy followed a year later, but after 1972's It Makes Me Glad Glass Harp disbanded; Keaggy went on to enjoy considerable success as a CCM solo act, while Pecchio later co-founded the Michael Stanley Band. Glass Harp's original lineup came together for a reunion concert in 1988. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
I know they put out at least one other album in the mid 1990s called HOURGLASS. It's a album, unlike the Carnegie Hall recording, which was recorde way back in the 1970s.

Heh...one of my best friends is good friends w/Keaggy.....Phil offered to start a duet with him - back inda day - my friend was the guitarist for a lost band of Cleveland OH named : Fresh Air - the keyboardist was in The Left Banke - Don't Walk Away Renee - before Fresh Air...they had a female lead vocalist who was a real trip to enjoy....
As great of a guitar virtuoso that Phil is, he doesnt take credit for what people attribute what was said of him by Hendrix--because Phil states that it never occurred although Phil recorded in the same studio that Hendrix recorded but after Hendrix died--so Phil himself states Hendrix couldnt have said what persists to this day..
Having listened to secular music for decades and then quit, I was amazed to hear Glass Harp 1970 album--most songs are exactly what I am used to enjoying--the guitar on those songs by Phil is so awesome..wish I had seen Glass Harp in the early 70s but I was too young.
Freak Out in Youngstown, Ohio 1969. We thought it could never get better than this. We were wrong, it just keeps getting better. Keep playing Phil wer are listening still.
saw glass harp at i believe north olmstead high school in 1971 there probably wasn't 30 people there. it was an incredible show they played their hearts out. i count myself fortunate to have been there and to have gotten the chance to meet and talk to them.
As to the rummer concerning the statement Hendrix is purported to have made about Phil and his guitar playing prowess. In 1985 I was working a three day festival of music outside of Chicago Ill in which Phil had participated. Now I have never been one to simply take what people say at face value. So when I had the first opportunity to settle this issue for myself I went to Phil privately during the sound check and ask him point blank about the so-call Hendrix statement. His answer was an emphati
Actually, Phil himself debunks this myth, stating that although his band recorded at Electric Ladyland Studios when he was 19, it was two weeks after Jimi's death and he doubted Hendrix had any idea who he was. (See wikipedia)However, I have heard a variation on the Hendrix statement, but it was on the Dick Cavett Show and referenced Billy Gibbons as "the best".
It was once rumored that when Hendrix was asked "How does it feel to be the best rock guitarist?"... that Hendrix answered "I don't know, ask Phil Keaggy" ... was this ever proved or was it just a rumor started by Keaggy's fans?
