In this<\/a> post, I mentioned that I intended to buy Beyond Nature and Freehand – Acoustic Sketches II by Phil Keaggy. Then, in this<\/a> post, I explained how<\/em> I was going to get it, namely, in a bundle from philkeaggy.com<\/a> (including a repeat of Acoustic Sketches, which I had previously purchased as a download from Amazon.com).<\/p>\n

It took a long time for those CDs to arrive, but due to our travel schedule, it’s possible that they were sitting here waiting patiently for over two weeks. I finally got to unwrap them and listen to both Beyond Nature, and Freehand – Acoustic Sketches II.<\/p>\n

Both are excellent<\/strong> albums, and Beyond Nature is likely better (at least on first listen). Thanks to those who recommended it, including Bill Cooley<\/a> and DigitalDreamDoor’s top 100 Acoustic Guitar Albums List<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in the previous post, I now have a shrink-wrapped CD of Acoustic Sketches by Phil Keaggy. Even though that’s higher quality<\/em> than the download I purchased from Amazon.com, I am going to give away the CD to one lucky friend.<\/p>\n

If you’re reading this, know me personally, like Acoustic Guitar music and are interested in owning this CD, don’t hesitate to let me know (publicly as a comment, or privately in an email, IM or phone call). I haven’t decided whether I’ll give it to the first person that asks, or whether I’ll give everyone a few days, and see whether something else prompts the decision (proximity for ease of handoff<\/em>, need, level of begging, etc.). \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

For the moment, I’m done collecting Phil Keaggy music. I like it a lot, but I’ve accumulated so much new acoustic guitar music in the past two months, that I’m close to done in general (at least for a while), not just with Phil. That will be the subject of a different post, in the next few days.<\/p>\n

I feel a flurry of posts coming on over the weekend…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
