Master songwriters and master musicians both, Cockburn vs Hedges! This really brings a lump to the throat. This is not the first time this has been said but.. Michael, gone too soon!
Yes, I was thinking about him all day on Dec. 31. I think I read somewhere that he was born at midnight? He is so darling, so young in these earliest videos.
“A consummate guitarist, Cockburn’s music is innovative, experimental, and versatile; as intricate in composition as Crosby, Stills and Nash. Thankfully, instrumental pieces appear on all of Cockburn’s albums. When they shuffle into play in my “instrumental guitar” playlist, they are easy to mistake for pieces by Phil Keaggy or MICHAEL HEDGES. ‘ Wondering Where the Lions Are,’ 1979. This bouncy, exuberant song offers another example of Cockburn’s defiant joy in facing eternity.“Sun’s up, uh huh, looks okay -the world survives into another day,and I’m thinking about eternity. Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.” ~ kerrysloft.com/art-music-lit-2/bruce-cockburn-love-in-a-broken-world/
Whoa! One of my favourite players, covering one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite songwriters! Thanks for this one, Randy!
Michael's peaceable "growl" closes out the song🦁🕊☺️
