[edit] question from Jimbo

"an instrument with additional bass strings that Hedges used to play Bach's Prelude to Cello Suite #1 in G Major in its intended key" On which album did he play this? I can't find it. I am a huge fan of Michael Hedges, having seen him perform in concert many years ago in the Live on the Double Planet tour at Auburn University.--Jimbo Wales 02:27, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Jimbo, I'm pretty sure he didn't play it on an album, but he did it live...

Would you like a recording of him doing this?

It's on a Christmas compilation. I replied earlier to Jimbo's question directly on his talk page if you want to get more info. Cheers Anger22 05:22, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Specifically, it's on "A Winter's Solstice II" from Windham Hill, and he's playing a harp guitar. Yo Yo Ma does an excellent version of this song (on cello of course), but I prefer Michael's version.
It's a Harp Guitar, andy mckee uses one to. Moezzillas world (talk) 15:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] Born in OK or CA?

was michael born in Enid OK, or in Sacramento, CA? Type3secretion 12:54, 7 April 2008

Nice to see you here, type3. There's one or two sources stating Hedges was born in CA, but most say he was from Enid, OK. HTH, Jo (talk) 14:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
