A recent post at 357 Magnum reminded me of Eric Johnson and his smash hit instrumental from 1990, "Cliffs Of Dover". How many of you remember it, too?
I remember when that track first came out. It feels strange to think that it's now about 36 years old - more than half as long as I've lived. How time slips away . . .
I looked through YouTube to see what other versions of the piece might have been recorded. There were plenty of electric guitar look-alikes, but this bluegrass acoustic guitar version by Aaron Jaxon was spectacular.
Definitely a country flavor to a modern piece - and fantastic finger work.

Both acoustic and electric versions are amazing. I bought the Eric Johnson CD when it came out years ago. Wow.
