Hedges - Because It's There, Wolf Trap 1986

[acroyear]

Michael Hedges demonstrates the "Harp Guitar" on this track.

One of the new street musician groups at the festival has a member who plays one of these, though not quite in the same way. They're quite good and you should try to catch them these next two weeks.

In truth, he was one of the greatest guitar players ever. Listening to him was like being at the foot of Olympus and hearing the gods play from a lofty height. Our mortal ears could scarcely survive such beauty.
Remind me to tell you about the party where I met him.
