MICHAEL HEDGES PROFILE

an excerpt from the 'artist profile video'
Sadly In late 1997, Hedges died at the age of 43 in a car accident along California State Route 128 in Mendocino County, near Boonville (about 100 miles northwest of San Francisco).

I was so very fortunate to see & hear Michael in San Raphael Ca, 1988. It altered my whole concept of music at that time. He was definitely one of a kind!

Thanks for uploading this one! Michael always tried to please the people. And he always did!!

Thanks for posting this!! Michael's inspired me like no other, and it really looked like he was having a great time, which is so nice to see =) know where that concert footage was shot? Loved the water in the background...

When I listen to all of the Michael Hedges tapping/slapping clones, all I hear are technicians. Michael found a primal groove that lifted the music beyond the mere dazzling technique that everyone else focuses on.
