Music - Cliffs of Dover, '90


Cliffs of Dover, this brilliant composition by a young Eric Johnson haunts me (and probably half the world:). Like the unreal chalk walls of Dover that you can't forget.

He acknowledges the muses modestly saying,""I don't even know if I can take credit for writing 'Cliffs of Dover' ... it was just there for me one day ... literally wrote in five minutes ... kind of a gift from a higher place that all of us are eligible for. We just have to listen for it and be available to receive it."

Some are just sensitively tuned to pick up the higher notes of beauty in all things.
