heart of a genius

I've been covering some Michael Hedges tunes lately. He was an extremely nice man who was a pure genious musician. Here he is playing at Kent State U. in '85. I saw hime open for Crosby, Stills and Nash when I was a kid. I don't know how he did it, but he spun around and around in circles very fast, all the while playing an insanely beautiful and complex guitar part. He died on the California coast in a car accident after visiting his girlfriend. I don't know how many people know of him, but this was a great loss for the music world. Time and agin, I think about it.
