		It reveals Hedges exploring his fervent desire to be a singer/songwriter, rather than the virtuoso guitarist who influenced a generation of string-pickers.
		Michael Hedges once told writer John Stropes, "If anyone wants to lock me into the guitar pigeonhole, I'll make like a pigeon and crap on their windowsill." While Hedges brought a new sonic architecture to the acoustic guitar that stunned even his fellow guitarists, he also loved to sing.
		Michael Hedges was probably the most gifted writer, musician, arranger and producer in the modern music age.

	Michael Hedges - Biography - AOL Music
		One of the most innovative and acclaimed solo guitarists of his era, self-described "violent acoustic" artist Michael Hedges rose to success on the strength of a unique performing style that utilized harmonics and picking to create the impression of multiple guitars playing simultaneously.
		In the years to follow, Hedges began developing his so-called "man-band" performances, which favored a two-handed tapping style of soloing achieved with the use of a custom-made, double-necked acoustic/bass guitar.
		The record was Hedges' last for four years, however, and when he resurfaced with The Road to Return, his music was significantly different -- vocals were now the rule, not the exception, and in addition to acoustic guitar, he played flute, drums, synthesizer, harmonica, and electric guitar.

	MICHAEL HEDGES, composer/acoustic guitarist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Michael Hedges is perhaps the most innovative and kinetic acoustic guitarist in the history of the instrument, but he is first and foremost a composer who plays guitar, not a guitarist who plays compositions.

		Michael Hedges began playing guitar and flute as a young man. He attended Phillips University in his hometown of Enid, Oklahoma, where he studied classical guitar and composition.

		An excellent guitarist was Michael Hedges, who was a bay area person and helped form the Windham Hills label.
		Michael and John Stropes went thru a lot of work to present the tablatures in a way that captures all of the playing nuances that Michael is known for.
		It would appear that part of what makes Michael successful in the sounds he generates from the guitar is due to the pickups and such.

		Michael performed a mix of original material and covers in live performances, while recording primarily original material.
		This is a return to Michael's acoustic roots mostly because his beautiful handmade guitar, which was stolen in 1982, was returned and inspired this album.
		This album was Michael's attempt at throwing off the self-imposed limitations he had defined for himself, and is truly on of his finest works.

		Hedges was able to let go of attachments and live the life of a true travelling troubadour, with a little Zen in his pocket.
		I'm not sure if nurture or nature made Hedges the way he was but just hanging with him for a few hours brought me more of a sense of the present moment.

	Michael Hedges : Aerial Boundaries - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		This is the finest album from Michael Hedges, the man who is responsible for the greatest revolution in solo acoustic guitar playing since Leo Kottke.
		Attacking his instrument, snapping strings, banging on the fingerboard with his right hand, Hedges plays supremely beautiful music with the technique of a deranged lunatic.
		It has been said that genius is at least one part madness -- although a questionable assertion in general terms -- when applied to Hedges and his music, the analogy holds.

		PART 2: There's a poster with a bunch of Japanese signatures of a team who went up to find Naiomi Kirasawa's body - the famous Japanase explorer who climbed many of the world's biggest mountains - but sadly died on Mt. McKinley.
