Another one we lost as a young man was Michael Hedges.
When I got my electric guitar, the first song I wanted to play on it was "Red."
I saw him in concert with Leo Kottke. You could tell the awe and respect in which they held one another,
In a subsequent Leo concert (Michael was still alive at the time), he talked a little about Michael. Leo held out his right hand, hanging loosely, and wiggling his fingers, while saying, "His right hand is like an octopus."
