Hedges still had alot left in the tank, (he did a show in Davis CA a couple of months before he died that dazed and humbled a packed house of jaded guitar addicts). It's obvious that quite a few guitar players have heard him and you can hear them trying not to sound like an inferior clone, (kind of like the old Allan Holdsworth syndrome). Gotta' check out Don Ross, heard a few other guys say he's great too. Jack West/Big Ideas and Uwe Kropinski/Berlin Concert are also good documents from some excellent highly inventive acoustic brain fryers. Dasa Andrtova&Radim Hladik/Voliera and Leo Kottke/One Guitar No Vocals ain't bad either.
