Ragamuffin by Michael Hedges (covered by Reynold Disto)

Ragamuffin is composed and written by Michael Hedges from his groundbreaking album Aerial Boundaries released in 1984 under Windham Hill Records.

When i first heard his song Aerial Boundaries on my uncle's record in 1988 (i was only 15 years old) i thought it was more than one person playing the acoustic guitar. I just could not believe it was actually only him playing and i was wondering how was it possible for an acoustic guitar to sound this beautiful. Later i also discovered he only played 6 string acoustic guitar on this beautiful piece.

Michael Hedges has opened a new chapter in the steel-string acoustic guitar world and his album Aerial Boundaries is his best album in my opinion. Michael Hedges passed away on 02 December 1997. However his music will stay forever in my heart and all who was inspired by his beautiful music.

Rest In Peace Michael Hedges (1953-1997) 🙏❤️🙏

Thank You for all the years of your Beautiful Music.
