Nashville, Tenn. (July 27, 2011) - Guitar maestro Phil Keaggy recently appeared on a special edition of TBN's "Praise The Lord" featuring GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductees. Keaggy, who has been a Gospel Music Hall of Famer since 2007, performed and talked with host Russ Taff during the two-hour show.
"An absolute gentleman, a man after God's own heart and one of the greatest players this country has ever had," says Taff of Keaggy as he introduced the masterful musician to the show.
Keaggy sang and played "Salvation Army Band" and "The True Believers" in a performance that brought the audience to its feet in a standing ovation.
During the interview, Keaggy talked about his desire and decision as a teenager to become a musician for God. He also shared how he became friends with Paul McCartney, sharing a photo with the audience of the two of them jamming at McCartney's sister-in-law's wedding, where Keaggy was musical director.
Jimmy Fortune from the Statler Brothers also was featured on the show, along with a segment highlighting the Gospel Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and 2011 inductees Hoss Allen, Degarmo & Key, Johnny Cash and the Golden Gate Quartet.
