WNYC's John Schaefer discusses Michael Hedges at the New York Guitar Festival

Author, radio host, and New York Guitar Festival co-founder John Schaefer talks about the festival's first tribute concert. In 2000, the NYGF produced a concert and live radio broadcast called "Aerial Boundaries: A Tribute to Michael Hedges." Hedges, an extraordinary musician named by Guitar Player magazine as one of the "25 Guitarists Who Shook the World" blended elements of jazz, folk, classical and other styles into a hybrid he applied such tongue-in-cheek labels as "violent acoustic," "heavy mental," and "acoustic thrash." Paying tribute to the genius of this American original, who died in an car crash in 1997, were three former colleagues: Michael Manring, Pierre Bensusan, and, in a rare performance on guitar, George Winston. #MichaelHedges #WindhamHill #acousticguitar
