thanx for that, bill
hearing michael hedges for the first time, is one of those moments that stays with you forever
he totally exploded any notions i had of playing acoustic gtr
on the awards anecdotes side, i have a second hand story from a friend who was nominated for a timmy or a tommy, or whatever those tv awards are called, that are a month before the oscars (the name totally escapes me)
anyway, she, like bill, was nominated, and, like bill, had to sit for hours waiting for her category
having not expected to win, she availed herself of the free champagne available to her
when her name was called out, she was plastered, and she went on to make a total fool of herself on stage
suffice to say, when she won again the next year, she was sober
