didn't tape this tune much, and had a hard time figuring it out today, thanks to @hedges001 for getting the title to me (and right after i posted all that bensusan stuff.)

all of michael's instrumentals are original.

God I love being able to see these videos of Michael.  THANK YOU! I saw him a number of times and have been disappointed in the years between at the scarcity of video available. His shows were just so magical. I always felt like he was absolutely baring his soul.

Any video of him doing Peter Gabriel's Come Talk to Me?

@zenfreestyler I know right??? I just saw this today for the first time. This is one of only a few tunes of his that I was absolutely dying to see live. (The others were Hot Type and the Double Planet)

bellissimo!

I have to admit I don't get Pierre Bensusan - I find Michael to be much more accessible. But if Michael named a song after him, I guess I'm gonna have to sit down some week and immerse myself. (Then again, I don't get John Coltrane, either....)

@rlutge: I think I last saw Michael in concert in 1986.  I for one really appreciate these videos!

Michael, we miss you!

Michael THE Master. I cry everytime I hear this song. R.I.P.

Very nice! Good playing as far as I can say as a non-musician! Is this a cover or his own piece of music?

I had emailed Martin Guitars a few years back concerning putting out a Michael Hedges Signature guitar. The email I got back was that they wanted too & were in discussions with whomever controls the estate. Those discussions apparently ceased & Martin was not able to resume talks. Pretty sad. I would be one of the first in line to purchase one.
