I saw Hedges twice; both times with Leo Kottke. The first time he opened for Leo and I'd never heard of him. He was phenomenal! A few years later I saw them again; this time Leo opened for Michael. This time I knew what to expect musically, but not visually. He came out wearing what looked like blue old-time wresting tights, along with a helmet with holes in it in which his dreadlocks stuck out. So he stunned me both times!! A legend to whom every guitarist should pay homage.
I had the good fortune to see Hedges twice myself; when I saw this commentary on him, I had to give it a listen. He was a phenomenal artist - he would be playing, and go into a whirling dance, like a Sufi in an altered state. I would also like to mention how I discovered your music, Mr. Woods... Was checking out another great guitar player by the name of Eric Loy, (was looking for him cuz he's local) and he provided the link to your music. Thank you for the tribute to Hedges, and for sharing your own amazing music.
