In 1972, Phil Keaggy left GLASS HARP. The band recruited classical guitarist Tim Burks who had big shoes to fill to say the least. The band wrote new material and continued to play as a trio until the

y decided to add violinist/keyboardist Randy Benson, who had just left TINY ALICE. With the addition of Randy, the band wrote even more songs and played for quite awhile before calling it quits in 1973. Daniel went on to co-found the Michael Stanley Band with Michael. John Sferra and Tim Burks started a new band called HARTSHIP , and to the best of my knowledge, Randy moved to Canada. This is a live track from the CLEVELAND AGORA that was part of an FM broadcast. The band had a ruff time of it due to some equipment problems (lots of buzz from Tim's 2 Fender Twins) and some problems with the keyboards. The show was still incredible (in my opinion). While they were not the same without Phil, they became a very tight band, and with the addition of the violin, became more of a progressive rock band. I often wonder what they would have become if they could have continued longer. Here is a song of theirs that I have enjoyed since I first heard it.. I hope you like it!!
