“Two Days Old”

This beautiful ballad first appeared as a duet with Michael Hedges accompanied by Michael Manring on fretless bass on the audio recording Breakfast in the Field (Windham Hill Records, 1981, WD-1017). Then, in 1987, it was released as a guitar solo on Live on the Double Planet (Windham Hill Records, 1987, WD-1066).

This transcription is an interpretively stunning realization of “Two Days Old” which was recorded by Michael Hedges on April 22, 1990. The form is identical to the Breakfast in the Field recording.
