song for alex, (baal t'shuvah) night two, new varsity

i'm hearing this was transitioned into, "baal t'shuvah." on "oracle." this is 1978. before he met will upstairs and signed the napkin contract to make breakfast in the field. i think this guitar got ripped off at some point, but i remember him loving it for certain tunes.

@covert. we would have to check that with will. it may have been. i know that it was felt to be a little too close to alex's style for BITF.

Finding this clip is a great Christmas present. This is my favorite Hedges song, and this is an amazing video. God bless you guys for filming this.

I graduated from high school that year and was into Rush,Tull,Yes and other progressive bands. Its cool to know that Michael was a fan of Steve Howe and actually met him. His aproach to acoustic was like some strange hippie prog band, yet it managed to take my psyche by storm.

@rtluge - I was also thinking - how did we capture this - video WAS so new!

Thank God we have it!

I can't believe what I see. If it's actually 1978, it's probably the oldest video of Michael known to public. And hr already was that good. Million dollar video!

These videos are just so breath-taking.
