Top 13 signs you are addicted to Phil Keaggy
(Some of these are true!)

13. You always type/write a "ph" where an "f" should be.

12. You know the members of the Keaggy email list better than your family and friends.

11. You won't leave home without your beret even though you have a full head of hair.

10. You surf the net for hours searching for a rare 10 second guest appearance on an obscure album then pay an outlandish price for it - an you are exited about it.

9. You permanently replace the "f" key on your keyboard with a "ph" key instead.

8. You plan your family vacation around a Phil Keaggy concert.

7. You spend thousands of dollars to buy an exact replica of one of Phil's guitars built by the same worker and then beg Phil to deface it bysigning his name to it (after he puts his eyes back into their sockets).

6. You consider "Jam Man" an actual person.

5. You always sit in the front row of a concert helping Phil remember lyrics to a song he hasn't played in 25 years.

4. Whenever you go to a PK concert, the people at the album and video table ask *you* about an album. You subsequently spend the rest of the evening giving album recommendations and answering questions.

3. You shudder every time you hear someone pronounce his name with a long "e" instead of the correct long "a" sound.

2. "Who is this MacCartney guy and why do people keep saying he sounds like Phil?"

...and the number 1 sign you are addicted to Phil Keaggy...

1. You have your right middle finger amputated in hopes that it will improve your guitar playing.

(There are actually many more, but I'll spare you. Any guessas as to which ones are actually true?)
