In the 1980's Michael Hedges and a bunch of other Windham Hill artist came to Fairfield for a concert. It was at the Fairfield Highschool. Hedges came out and played his amazing cover of All Along the Watchtower. When he finished there was this stunned silence for for about a second and then all the rus exploded in applause and shouting. An amazing moment. ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell. Get more on shows you hate to love (and love to hate): Yahoo!
