Keaggy Plays Rich Mullins' Hold Me Jesus
I was watching this video of Phil Keaggy singing one of my favorite songs I have covered in the past, HOLD ME JESUS. This guy can play, although the video isn't always really clear. Still you can get a sense of his technique. It appears he has removed the steel strings and installed nylon/classical strings on this instrument, which is a high end boutique guitar similar to the one James Taylor plays.
The lyrics on this song say it all for me, and others: Hold Me Jesus, because I'm shaking like a leaf...
I think of my tremors and this song represents that emotion that comes from a movement disorder like the one I have. Enjoy the video and give me your feedback if you get the chance.
