Phil Keaggy - May 26, 2012

Took a evening drive down to a southern Manitoba border town, Gretna, to the host of a state-of-the art performance facility, Buhler Hall, located at the Mennonite Collegiate Institute high school.

The event was a fund and awareness event for a NGO named Eagles Wings Children's Village centered in Uganda. Their web site is eagleswingschildrensvillage.com.

From their web site history page they say that "it was necessary for us to apply to the Ugandan Government to have “Eagles Wings Children’s Village” recognized as a NGO (Non Governmental Organization). After much effort, we received the certificate on July 27th, 2004.  Eagles Wings Children’s Village is a registered charity in Canada as well. Incorporation of EWCV occurred in the spring of 2005 in both Uganda and Canada, with each country having its own Board members. The land title was secured for the 72.1 acres of land near Lukaya in southern Uganda." Go to their web site for more information.

The excitement for the evening was someone who I have been listening to and seeing for may years and was glad to make the event. As you can see below the new Buhler Hall has a very adequate stage. Because I can't provide any sound to the event, I hope you can fill it in yourself or find some of Phil's music to listen to.  His web site is simply philkeaggy.com.

Thanks Phil for many well said lyrics and notes, you have been a great blessing!

Note: For those of you who take pictures at these types of events something I have noticed is that auto-focus systems on today's cameras grab onto object edges to lock on to so microphone stands tend to be in great focus instead of performers so either pre-lock your focus on what you want in focus or switch to manual focus to get what you want.

Again, thanks Phil and many blessings to you and your family.
