WaterSky & Frio Suite / Jeff Johnson & Phil Keaggy



   
     I'm now listening to a "new" (it's actually been 'out' for about a year- I just am now getting it)  CD album.. "WaterSky" by guitarist Phil Keaggy and pianist Jeff Johnson. These albums came about by a trip that both of these composers took to a Christian retreat center in Texas called Laity Lodge, overlooking the Frio River. This is actually Volume II of their collaboration. About two years ago, they released "Frio Suite" which was a marvelous collection of instrumental guitar/piano duets that were inspired by this marvelous river and God's natural creation that abounds there. They were so inspired by their surroundings that it caused them to create this music, which I am enjoying right now!
