Glass Harp - Look In The Sky (1970)

Recorded At Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studio

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.

Phil Keaggy (born March 23, 1951) is a guitarist and vocalist. He was raised in a small farmhouse in Hubbard, Ohio with nine brothers and sisters, and began playing guitar at age ten on a Sears Silvertone guitar. Keaggy's beginnings go back to the 60's and early 70's when he played in Glass Harp, a band that released several albums on the Decca label and was often seen on stage with bands like Yes, Traffic, Alice Cooper and Iron Butterfly. Glass Harp was a Youngstown, Ohio based power trio that formed in 1968 and consisted of guitarist Phil Keaggy, drummer John Sferra and bassist Daniel Pecchio. After the demise of Glass Harp, Keaggy began recording solo records and has done so ever since. Phil Keaggy is missing half of the middle finger on his right hand due to a childhood accident at age 4 involving a water pump. He is frequently listed as one of the top fingerstyle guitarists by Guitar Player Magazine readers' polls.
