Guitarist Michael Hedges died nearly 12 years ago in an automobile accident near San Francisco. It was reported that he was returning home after visiting his girlfriend over the Thanksgiving holiday, so I thought this might be a good time to remember his amazing work. I am thankful for the beautiful art that he was gracious enough to share with the us while he was here.
