From Music Professor Gary Gackstatter, who took this video:
Michael Hedges’ first “Oklahoma High School Gig“ In the mid-80s, Michael was in Enid, Oklahoma for a gig. I asked (begged) him to come to Medford (the small town I had my first high school teaching job) near Enid, and play for my students. Even though he had played a gig the night before, he got up early, found his way to the school, and performed for a bunch of kids. He also visited my then-wife Shannon (Close) and gave my newborn son Evan Gackstatter a kiss on his head. It was one of these students ( Paul Ailey) who called me ten years later one early morning to let me know Michael had died. Years ago, I sent my sister Cindy Clark a VHS which she recently copied to digital so we could share it with you. I owe her for this, and to Josh Mishell for the help. Michael had such a profound effect on those who knew him: impossible at the time to comprehend, but growing each day since he left us. Extraordinary that he grew up in Oklahoma; extraordinary that I once knew him. I’m sure I speak for all when I say that he is missed.
