A brilliant musician who died way too soon. Just glad I got the chance to see him a couple times in concert. True genius. Nice to hear this. Thanks.

I remember that feeling well when a friend played this for me on vinyl, on a really good Hi Fi system.  I bought the album for myself as soon as I was able and still cherish it .  RIP Michael. {#Notworthy}

With all the songs that have been written over hundreds of years I sometimes wonder: hasn't it all been done? It seems like there are a finite number of notes, tones, techniques, etc with which to work, especially if you limit yourself to one instrument. What can anyone still do that is original? Here's one answer, which still sounds as fresh and original now as it did when released.

10+ for composition, technique, melody, rhythm, and feeling.

More proof that God takes the good ones.   that's why Neil Young and Van Morrison are still here.
MH also inspired Eric Roach another percussive guitarist who I once played with and was far too young to die, he went on to coach Newton Falkner et al.

I've loved this piece since I had it on vinyl in college.

Saw him in the Gordon Center for performing arts in Reisterstown, MD in the late 90's, so glad I got to get even just one of his shows in before he passed.  Two? I am very jealous!  The first time you are in such awe, it is hard to take it all in....

There are many videos on youtube displaying his talent.  Just him alone on a stage sounding like a symphony.

Larry Turley proves your wife right.  

White Zin, however?  Ugh. Might as well drink Gallo Jug wine or Yellowtail.

One of the reasons I LOVE radio Paradise SO much, is that EVERY time I tune in, there is such an amazingly eclectic mix of old & new, it sounds like an awesome mix-tape me or one of my friends would make. Thank You, Radio Paradise, for making my life better through music <3

Normally, this high of an average rating would be shocking to me, but in this case, I totally understand the universal appeal.  It's like elevator music, but perfect.
 
Unfortunately, some people classify any piece of music which is slower than 140 beats-per-minute, as "boring" or "elevator music".

Believe I heard this about 25 years ago on a Wyndham Hill sampler bootleg tape purchased in Dubai.  Still outstanding

Saw Mr. Hedges live in Chico years ago. One person on stage, making incredible music, this tune included. In some senses, yeah, he's just another really good musician who died young. But it worked for me. 9.
