"I play the guitar because it lets me dream out loud." - Michael Hedges

Michael Hedges (December 31, 1953 -- December 2, 1997) was an American acoustic guitarist born in Sacramento, CA and raised in Enid, Oklahoma. Hedges was a Peabody Conservatory composition major who applied his classically trained musical background in combination with various unusual techniques to the steel-string acoustic guitar. He covered a wide range of musical styles and was considered an extremely dynamic performer in concert. He saw himself as a composer who played guitar, rather than a guitarist who composed music.

I was in the audience at Esalen 1996. I cried to hear such beautiful music. The following morning I sat on the deck at Esalen and had coffee with Michael.
I just found out he died. Like my other favourite Jeff Buckley .......... what can you say!

timmyjbone - if you mean the links on the channel page, something about YouTube is weird - it adds spaces inside the links, and I can't seem to find a way to remove them
timmyjbone | June 23, 2008
